    Mayer Brown PFO - Okay, submitting a cheeky last minute application and there’s are TEN app questions 🙃 and a cover letter. Problem is, when all the questions basically use all the info I normally would put in a cover letter, what do I write in the cover letter? Should it be slightly more...

    Think I just messed up an interview, I was asked what I’m interested in that’s not academic/law related … and I said skin care. 😐 *I did say I like reading the scientific elements of everything and how it all works together but oh my goodness could I have picked a more vapid answer fmllll

    Have lots of people heard from Travers?? I feel like I may have got a PFO, checked for the email in my special “PFO you loser” file, lol, and it wasn’t there.
