Thank you - that's useful to know!Hey! I don’t think it’s automatic, but it is timed - you have 30 minutes to complete it
Feel free to DM - happy to discuss!Hi- do you have any tips for how you went about preparing for the interview. What are some key things that you prepared and were there any questions that threw you? Thanks so much
Last year I used this section to mention some of my extracurriculars/ interests and I passed the app review stage. I also confirmed whether this was ok with GR and they agreed.After one purely motivational question, Addleshaw Goddard has the additional question: "Use this space to tell us about any mitigating circumstances that you might have or any other information about you that might be relevant to your application.". Besides mitigating circumstances, is it common/does it make sense to use this section as a "Why me?" section, for example detailing skills and positions of responsibility? Or should I simply leave it blank if I don't have any mitigating circumstances? (If I had to guess, I would assume that it was intended to be only about information akin to mitigating circumstances, but I can't be sure.)
So for headings, I would just put the name of the event and that of the organizer as the 'Employer' and 'Attendee/Participant' as 'Job Title'. For the main bit, I think you should just employ the normal STAR structure, with some tweaks to try to show the experience in the best light:In the work experience section, I have listed all my commercial law events, virtual experiences, and webinars attended in one entry. As my other legal work experiences are more pro bono, legal aid etc, I really want to use these events to explain what I did (Case studies, interactive workshops) and the skills I picked up so my motivation for commercial law comes across as strong. @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam @Amma Usman I would appreciate any insights on how best to put these experiences in writing.
Add White & Case rejection just now 🤪HSF rejection :/ so far only rejections losing hope again

I would definitely not use that as an opportunity to sell yourself. Among other things, it could demonstrate that you don't read and follow instructions. I also had no MC's, but I used this section to say that because my A'Levels are from Cambridge, A is the equivalent of A* in their grading system. I also noted that I did a 4-year degree with one year abroad at a US university. I included a link to the marks scored 1-5 and an explanation of the ranking. You can explain things in your application that might need clarifying, like those who went to secondary school in other countries and did other exams. For example, in the Caribbean, they don't do GCSC's; they do O'Levels or CSEC. Or if you did an access course vs A'Levels, etc.After one purely motivational question, Addleshaw Goddard has the additional question: "Use this space to tell us about any mitigating circumstances that you might have or any other information about you that might be relevant to your application.".

had 4 x rejections in 48 hours last week! Happens to everyoneAdd White & Case rejection just now 🤪
how did you find out your percentile?Just received the CMS WG invite, I applied on Saturday morning.
@Andrei Radu and @Ram Sabaratnam do you have any tips on how to succeed with this devil test?
I recently completed the Linklaters WG and although I answered more than half of the questions correctly, I still got 45 percentile.
It is so frustrating!
you can email the GR recruitment team and request your resultshow did you find out your percentile?
Tell us about a challenge you have faced. What are the skills you used to overcome that challenge and how are they transferable to help you with a career as a lawyer
Is this question best answered in reference to a challenge in the pursuit of a career in law or can it be a challenge in another capacity, eg. in another role / in a personal capacity / throughout academic journey?
