Hogan Lovells PFO. I really do need some good news going my way.

If anyone's done an OC virtual AC before, I'd love to know any advice you have. Is the research/presentation part based on a broad commercial topic?

Hogan Lovells PFO. Applied for their VS in January and didn’t have to do the WG because I was on their first year scheme

I would honestly love some insight because I don’t know where I went wrong. I also applied for their Lift Off programme this year and got rejected. I got my application checked twice from a trainee so I really don’t know what to say and it is upsetting because they don’t even give feedback. I assumed I would make it to their AC at least…

Alas, rejections are inevitable I suppose

Hogan Lovells PFO

 

[OliverTwist]

For anyone applying to Brown Rudnick -

I am currently polishing my covering letter. I realise the firm has stipulated the letter should not be longer than one A4 page in length. I have used size 10 font (calibri), and am currently sitting at around 563 words. My piece just fits within one page, with no firm address at the top, nor my own address. I have just started the cover letter with 'Dear Ms Taylor Greeley,' which to me does not seem right for a cover letter.

Anybody that has applied in the past / has any suggestions...
