fyi- i wrote about 750 words & 1.5 page and passed the initial screenHow long is recommended for Cleary cover letter? Can't find a word count or page limit anywhere on the website but I'm a chronic waffler so need something to guide me
Did you also attach a school transcript to your application? My secondary school didn't offer transcripts so I'm not really sure what to do haha. Thank you for your help btw!
There was one test (I can't remember which, but one of the ones I did (maybe M&R, but I could be mistaken - I took the test a couple weeks back, so it could have been multiple ones), my answers were slightly off - a rounding error, either in the working or in the final answer. It was untimed, so I did them multiple times, getting the same answer (I got good maths grades at GCSE, A-level and Uni modules). In the end, I realised it was a small mistake in the answers (most people would have just clicked through, for some reason, I was stubborn, trying to get the exact answer). But it definitely was a mistake on their end, which I find ironic for a law firm.Me when I see maths questions in an amberjack test knowing I’m gna spend 20 mins calculating the answer only to get it wrong and be forced to spend another 10 mins to get the right one:
Hey, I recently got invited to their AC. I got a high in numercial and verbal, and got 7,6,6,7 so you should be fine.
Also, the email was worded in a way that suggested the AC invite depended on both the chat-based interview and the SJT.
Hey congrats on getting the AC! did you get invited to the Mishcon AC on friday as-well?

Please can I ask what day you completed the SJT? J trying to figure out if they’re releasing in batches or if all invites were sent at once. Thanks!

Then you need to work on the perfect prompt to get chatgpt to write the perfect prompt.... and I don't want to do that, so I'll ask for the prompt for the prompt....
I imagine week commencing Feb 23 is when they will send the invites out

I randomly decided to review my katten app today and noticed i somehow put the wrong date for my internship (2021, when it was actually in 2025 lol). The internship was quite serious and I did it after I graduated, but with the incorrect date it seems like i've got quite a bit of an employment gap after graduation....But it's been a month since I submitted the app, would it be weird to email atp?
@abc124 I wouldn't really sweat at this stage, and I don't think they're going to be taking into account employment gaps before making a decision - that's usually checked before you start the role. However, if you think that you correcting the date potentially changes the way your application is reviewed, then email them and amend it. You don't want any "What if's" during this gruelling process.
