The Importance Of A Support System During This Journey
The law firm application process can be a challenging and emotionally demanding journey, and having a strong support system can make a world of difference.
For me, my support system was my close friend, who was also navigating the same application cycle. Together, we shared the highs and lows, celebrating when we received assessment centre invites and consoling each other through rejections. Having someone who truly understood the process made it easier to stay motivated and keep going.
That said, support systems don’t always have to be individuals. They can also take the form of activities, routines, or even moments of joy that help you recharge and find balance. Personally, I found solace in my evening walks, where I could clear my mind, and in learning something new, which gave me a sense of accomplishment beyond applications. Treating myself to my favourite desserts also became a small but meaningful ritual that reminded me to take care of myself.
Whether it’s a friend, a hobby, or a quiet moment to yourself, finding something that supports you emotionally and mentally during this process is invaluable.
It’s important to remember that your well-being is just as important as the goals you’re working towards.

There might be more than 2 people reviewing forms - they can get the broader HR team to support or even get lawyers to support.
Even if that wasn’t the case, it is possible to read 2000 in two weeks even by one person - it’s completely mind numbing but it is possible (I’ve done it many times!).
I tried to do the same and it gives me the same error message it did previously which is worrying. I have confirmation of submission but no confidence they can actually view it. Hope I’m wrong but tempted to email them
Anyone here have a solution for using Vantage/Candid
It currently loads up an outdated version of my work experience which is especially annoying as it is in the wrong order (oldest first).
Anyone here have a solution for it as I have contacted Rare themselves and even they said they don’t have one?
No idea how they can save my application data from 6 months ago but not my most recent.

I second this, i have been unable to login to the application for 2 weeks💀💀
I've just had a look and the job-specific questions sections didn't even exist anymore! Don't worry it's not just you 😭 😂 Their website is a bit of a nightmare
CMS video interview tips pls? Is it competency or motivational/CMS specific qs?
Yeah mine does this too and it’s so annoying!!! Let me know if you find a solution, I’m thinking of maybe asking them to wipe it and then it’ll save the next version I apply with?
Hey
I was once told at an insight evening that the firm has a graduate recruitment committee. This comprises of mostly associates (all levels of seniority) who screen say 200 apps each.
Hope this helps. Good luck with it all
What!?!? My cover letter would’ve included completely different information if the cover letter was all they’re looking at, what a waste of time
That’s very impressive!
Wow that is really interesting, thank you!Hey

Oh me too! But I'd gone to a talk they did and they said they were looking at both and that we could even use the cover letter as some sort of "introduction" to certain points we talked about later in the questions, so I very much doubt they're only taking the cover letter in consideration. (Hopefully)
Does anyone know if Charles Russell Speechlys offers more training contract seats and D&I projects in London?
@Andrei Radu, @Amma Usman and @Ram Sabaratnam do you guys have any insight?
