Questions for interviewers
As an interview question, would it be appropriate to ask whether Covid-19 has had a positive impact on the firm in any way (and if so, how/why?). I ask this as I can think of some positive outcomes of the pandemic (I am taking an extremely optimistic approach here) - e.g. fast-tracking the...- Keren

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Ok, thanks @Jessica Booker :). Is there any need to link back the topic to law firms? I ask this as it is solely a topic of choice. Yes, I have. I presume the same sort of structure applies to TC presentations? It’s been so long since I’ve done a presentation…- Keren

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Fab - thanks Jess. When you say balance, do you mean just a balance between the points I plan on talking about? I guess it would be okay to do a presentation on crypto and use its benefits/challenges/and implications it has in a wider context as the reasons why I am interested in it? I've...- Keren

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi @Jessica Booker, I hope you are well. I have an assessment day coming up (for a regional firm) and I've been asked to prepare a presentation on a topic of my choice (e.g. any interest/hobby). I am really interested in crypto (for investment and fundamental reasons) - e.g. blockchain...- Keren

pre employment checks for VS/TC
Phew - I was expecting the worst i.e. retraction of job offer! Yes - informal work experience placement, three years ago. The most important role was my paralegal one - which I definitely have the accurate dates for. So I'll just let the reference company know, and not my employer? Thanks...- Keren

pre employment checks for VS/TC
Hi @Jessica Booker, I have just come across this thread and I would be extremely grateful for your perspective! I secured a position with a firm and I am going through employment reference checks. I stated the accurate date (one-week) for one of my placements for my checks. But on my CV, I...- Keren

Why this firm?
Hi all, reviving this thread with the hope of gaining some clarity on the following (bit of a long one - apologies!). I am applying for a smaller regional firm and one of the questions is “why us”. Whilst it is easier to find key clients/cases etc to back up points on my applications for...- Keren

Work experience part of applications
Sorry @Jessica Booker one last question... as the firm specifically asks for the name of the organisation I worked for... would I still be able to talk about being a self-employed piano tutor? If so, could I just put "self-employed" under that part?- Keren

Work experience part of applications
Hi all I think this is the most appropriate thread for my question. I am in the process of filling out the work experience section on an application. The firm asks for work experience (two different roles) and reasons for leaving. For the first experience, I put down my most recent position...- Keren

Noted! Variety is what I’ve gone for in all of my other questions, I was just unsure if I should come at this from a different angle. Thanks so much Jess :)- Keren
