I think it is tomorrow night.Guys,
W&C’s deadline is on the 15, does it mean tonight at midnight or tomorrow? I don’t want to be in the same situation I was with NRF.

Did anyone do Latham & Watkins personality assessment? Would be interesting to see if there's much similarities in feedback reports on here.
My highlighted strengths were good judgement and effective communication
From experience, I've had no issues spelling out numbers under 10. I think it's safer to stick to this grammatical norm (unless it's exceptionally unclear to read otherwise, but which I think would be rare)@Jessica Booker Hi Jess, just wondering what your thoughts are on using digits for numbers in applications? I wouldn't usually use digits for numbers under 10, but I've seen people do both and someone reviewing my application has suggested I change all written numbers into digits. Does this matter either way/is there a strict preference?
(Please let me know if there's a better place to ask this!)
Thanks @Scandi! I'd prefer stick with spelling them out too so will go with thatFrom experience, I've had no issues spelling out numbers under 10. I think it's safer to stick to this grammatical norm (unless it's exceptionally unclear to read otherwise, but which I think would be rare)
Has anyone heard from the London office ???I believe eversheds has responded back to the tc apps! My friend just got an reply.
I applied to Cardiff and still no replyHas anyone heard from the London office ???
Is this for the Manchester office?I believe eversheds has responded back to the tc apps! My friend just got an reply.
I would absolutely include all the experience that you have! It's great that you can show a variety of experiences (both legal and non-legal), especially as you probably have trained different skills.Do you guys put your work experiences that are short term? I've had about 5 jobs that I would do only during summer holidays so I've only held each for about 3/4 months. Would this be received badly to GR? Would appreciate your insight on this @Jessica Booker
Additional question, I'm being headhunted for a promotion but at another company, but have only been in my current role for less than 6 months.
Would it be better to have more experience on my CV, or to stick with one place for longer to demonstrate commitment?
(I'd love to get some advice and talk about this to somebody as it has specific details if possible also!)

I personally would - I don't think it's different to having an internship that would only be a couple of months maximum anyway! If they're more minimum wage experiences that overlap/are at the same place then it might be worth collating them, but I still think it wouldn't be wrong to put them separately.Do you guys put your work experiences that are short term?

I’m sure others have more well-thought views on this, but I don’t think there’s any harm in lumping some of them together under one work experience entry. For instance, I often had several jobs during the summer. For one of my entries, I write down the main job I did at a bookstore during the summer and then in my description I also mention that I was doing other part-time work during this time (e.g. working as a barista). I describe how holding multiple jobs helped me manage my time, develop customer service skills, etc.
However I wouldn’t take a ‘lumping’ approach to those jobs that offered me significant experiences and skills. My vac scheme at V&E was only a week, for instance, but I wouldn’t lump that together with the other vac schemes I did. Rather I’d enter each vac scheme separately. Again, the nature and type of job you did may determine whether you lump them together with others.
Just my view Very curious what others might think.
ooh thank you guys for your responses! Thank you for the insight and advice - really like hearing different perspectives on this!I personally would - I don't think it's different to having an internship that would only be a couple of months maximum anyway!

Also interested to know what others think!
Hi ! This is my first time using TCLA... I hope I am on the right thread.
When answering "biggest challenges for the legal sector over the next 12 months" question. I am thinking of writing about Climate and sustainability and The SQE? Am I on the right lines on this question?
Also, about how Brexit and Covid-19 affected a number of sectors. I wrote about how litigation has been affected as a result. Or should I write about the financial sector,particularly, employment law?
