Hi again
@KBanana . Just following up on your last post. Trainee size, in my opinion, is a stronger point to talk about than DEI initiatives. Many firms will have similar DEI initiatives. However, you will be able to link intake size more adequately to your preferences and experiences. For example, if in a small cohort, you could say something about receiving higher responsibility early on. Though, this is also not specific enough. To elevate your answer, you could address the question of why that size specifically appeals? How do you know that size is
for you? Can you give an example of how you thrived in a similar environment? This will ensure that you are specific on your true motivations. Further, you could also schedule quick coffee chats with future/current lawyers to gain more insight on how this small intake structure has enabled them to thrive in their roles. This could be referenced in an application as there’s no better way to know how something works like by speaking to those that have directly experienced it.
I am one of the lucky ones to get invited, but I actually don't know how they screened candidates? I was surprised to be invited to the test because nowhere did I find there would be a test! I thought they would progress to AC straight according to their FAQ page
