The main way I ordered my work experience was simply by reverse chronology. That also happened to involve having my legal work experience (vac schemes) up top, just because I was in the midst of an application cycle and so that was all I was doing work-wise. Nevertheless, I quite like having legal work experience at the top because if firms see one thing, they will see that

Thanks James, that's very helpful

HSF PFO did not meet the benchmark.

What even is my life at this point. Last year I did well in tests but my applications were bad. This year I feel like my applications are much better but I fail all tests.

I just went through my report and I am a bit confused.
It seems like it is the same report, as in, I got literally all the same skills I had last year. But now I failed?
Do firms change what they are looking for?

HSF test the SJT test and verbal reasoning test have correct answers so maybe you might have got answers wrong there but don't worry there will be other firms and I have had bad luck with HSF also.

Sorry to hear you were not successful. Do you mind me asking when you sat the test? I did mine almost a week ago and haven't got feedback yet?

For the Skadden cover letter do you have to state dear graduate recruitment or dear Mathieu as it is only 300 words the cover letter.

It is usually recommended to do so, yes. No need for addresses or the like though!
