Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Graduated in 2020…did a MC VS last year and didn’t convert to a TC. Meanwhile, people I went to uni with are now qualified solicitors lmao
I was wondering the same, it feels hard to get in all the information they want in less!
I didn’t convert three Vac Schemes. You’ve got time. How do people get TCs at 19, 20, 21 etc? It just makes me think everything is going to be a struggle - SQE, NQ positions etc. I can’t think of anything else to do.
Contact the graduate recruitment team, honestly. Send them a transcript - many firms ask for those anyway. You could also send your certificates - if you're successful, they'd probably ask you for those anyway so you're making things easier.
it does feel like a lot, I did two of the recruiter insight events and at both they emphasised how important the work experience section is because it's the only part of the application where they can assess written skills, they mentioned being succint, but also gave a laundry list of things to include.
If there is an option to format bullet points on the application form (rather than copying them in), then you can use them. If there isn’t, I’d generally recommend paragraphs but is a super concise format rather than trying to connect every sentences up like it is a story/competency answer.
Sorry if this is silly but is the video interview and the interactive assessment one and the same? And both are to be completed before the deadline? Or just the interactive interview and the video app is a separate assessment which you are invited to after the deadline?
