Surely Sidley would’ve sent out all the interviews for successful applicants, right?

hi @Jessica Booker if an employer is asking you to provide a copy of your visa is this just asking for the sharecode?

If the visa is in your passport, they may need a scan of that, but if there are any formal documents you can provide that confirm the name and expiry date of the visa, then you might be able to provide that as well. I would check with the firm as to what they specifically need if it is not clear from their instructions.

not necessarily, it may depend on who applied first; we'll have to just wait and see

Sidley Austin interview!

Yayyy !!! When did you apply?

 

[fingersarecrossed]

Hi!

When law firms limit you to 4 work experiences, is it recommended to include experiences you mentioned in your application answer or to avoid those?

Or can we just put any experience we think would showcase us as a good candidate?
