Congratulations! Could I ask when you took the test pls?Norton Rose VI!
When I spoke to a trainee there I think he said 7 or 8 roughly but not sure how many TCs they actually offerDoes anyone know how many trainees Willkie plans to take on for a 2027 entry?
Passed initial app review I believeJust received a DLA Piper WG. Is that automatic or have I passed the initial app review?
@Mariyam_M Early careers said the answer to the application questions should be concise and straight to the point and that the cover letter is an opportunity for your personality to come through. So I would recommend choosing experiences that are more personal in the cover letter and experiences that are more direct for the application questions. They chose to include both application questions and a cover letter deliberately, so make sure to showcase as much of your whole self as you can. Hope this helps!Hey everyone, I need some advice. Taylor Wessing asks for a cover letter, but one of their questions is "What motivates you for a career in Law at Taylor Wessing and what key skills would you bring?". This question essentially overlaps with the content of the cover letter. How can I avoid repeating myself in both?

You should change/improve the answer, update it to your new skills/experiences.bit of a silly question but if a firm has the same app questions as last year, can i reuse my answers knowing that i managed to get past the written app stage with them?
totally get this! but what if I honestly haven't gotten any new experiences or skills bc the app i made previously was less than 6 months ago?You should change/improve the answer, update it to your new skills/experiences.
I don't believe law firms consider anything plagiarism that's just an academic thing really. You can do it but even adjusting your points to more recent developments at the firm would be good. Just because it got through previously doesn't automatically mean it will now. But in short, yeah I dont think your application will be ignored if its the same as the previous year.totally get this! but what if I honestly haven't gotten any new experiences ces or skills bc the app i made previously was less than 6 months ago?
would it technically be possible to resubmit the same answer (with a few tweaks) or would it be self-plagiarism?
I would focus more on the work opportunity in the application question and more of the working environment aspects in the cover letter.Hey everyone, I need some advice.

Self-plagiarism is not a thing. It’s your content, even if you reuse it.totally get this! but what if I honestly haven't gotten any new experiences ces or skills bc the app i made previously was less than 6 months ago?

I'm laughing at the self-plagiarism point.Self-plagiarism is not a thing. It’s your content, even if you reuse it.
The issue with submitting the same application is you can’t expect the outcome to be any different this time around. If your application is the same, there is a strong chance you will be unsuccessful again. That is why it is always best to update and refine your application.
