Guys, can I ask how do trainees show their commercial awareness?

Guys, can I ask how do trainees show their commercial awareness?

I’d say it’s a key part of any role or responsibility related to their job and that they would demonstrate it by not only just completing the process/document/research, but by keeping in mind why they are doing it, why it is important to the client and why it’s going to add value by doing it.

Hi @Jessica Booker @AvniD,
I’m a masters student (law conversion) and have applied for the 2024 Clifford chance stream, I am planning on doing another masters after my current masters. The firm has said such students above that of a final non law undergrad should have applied for 2023 ordinarily, shall I let them know in an email why I applied for 2024 instead?

For anyone who's still waiting on CC 2023, they told me they didn't send me a test/profile of interest email because I've already passed the WG in a previous cycle. Therefore they didn't need to resend me the test. They'll be updating candidates later today

Yes, I would email them to explain this. Just keep the email as brief/to the point as possible.

Hi, does anyone know whether you can complete links capps assessment separately to filling out the form. Like, if I filled out the form today, could I return back tomorrow to complete the capps assessment or does it have to be in one sitting.

Hi @Jessica Booker , I have applied to CC 2024 TC. I'm currently doing a part time masters and will graduate in 2023. As I remember there is no entry in CC's application form about the duration of my masters, should I email the graduate recruitment to explain my situation?

just was wondering if you sit the watson glaser test for a firm, only that specific firm can see your score right? like that test score doesnt serve for any other firm you apply for that cycle which also requires the watson glaser test?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if Hogan Lovells lets you know if youve passed the WG or not?

They disclose the percentile you got, but they don't say whether you have passed or not. If it helps, I've recently secured a summer vac scheme offer from HL after not doing that well on their WG test. So from this, i would say they consider your score in conjunction with other factors of your application.

Thank you! I completed it this morning so might wait a few days before asking for my percentile !
