    Hiii everyone, Firstly, anyone else nearly pee themselves after getting that very nice update email from Mishcon yesterday? 💀 Secondly, I’ve decided to apply for Walker Morris again, and I still don’t know how to answer “What connections do you have to the area?” - what are they looking for...

    I don’t want to give too much away. Have you ever completed the pymetric test for WBD? It’s very similar in style - brain agility/processing speed. Good luck!! :)

    I’m absolutely stumped on how to answer the ashurst summer vac scheme question “please summarise for us what a commercial lawyer does”. Should I give a general overview? Or touch more upon one of their practice areas and what a lawyer may do within this area? I think I may give a general...

    Hahahaa submitted my app to Travers summer vac scheme a couple of hours ago and just received an official looking email from grad rec. I audibly said “you have got to be joking me” - whilst in the library thinking it was a very swift rejection, and it was just an kind update/ acknowledgment...

    Thanks Jessica, I’ve tweaked it a little and may just remove it entirely. I know I have stronger points! :) Will probably send it in for a review tbh, cover letters always trip me up!

    Currently applying to Travers and writing my cover letter (no word limit is scary for me as I tend to ramble/over egg it). Anyway, as part of a point about their practice areas, there’s is a partner and I admire their career so much- they currently work at the intersection of two of their main...

    If anyone needs a laugh I full on (in the middle of providing other *very good (not) answers to Clyde and Co VI), trailed off groaning as I failed to answer a question correctly, rambled and then ran out of time. I also caught a look at myself and was bugg eyed and panicked 😂😂😂😂😂 oh well- PFO...

    Realise this is probably a really stupid question but what are you guys wearing in video interviews? Should I just wear a suit dress/suit. Do I need to wear a jacket? Or is smart causal (like a jumper) okay? Thanks :)
