    Hey guys,

    A bunch of you mentioned you'd like to see an example of a successful application.

    I attach images of my training contract application to Allen & Overy. There's quite a number of things I'd change now, but I hope it helps you work out whether you're going in the right direction. It's worth noting that I didn't attend my interview (I had a different offer by then), plus my written application won't have been the only factor taken into account!

    I attach images of my training contract application to A&O. There's quite a number of things I'd change now, but I hope it helps you work out whether you're going in the right direction.

    I just wanted to say this is going to be so helpful for my training contract application to Allen & Overy. Ive been struggling to work out how to tailor an application and this makes it a lot clearer.
