    A Nervous Training Contract Journey

    Hey Everyone! I really enjoy reading other peoples TC journey threads, so I have decided to start my own. Also, updating it will also hopefully provide another source of motivation, particularly when life gets crazy, as I very much expect it to soon as I am a final year history student...

    I guess the longer statement does not bring a definitive, cause-and-effect link between yawning and being tired and bored, while the shorter statement does. While we can assume that being tired and bored is an inducer of yawning, and hence assume the shorter statement is false, but it could also...

    Yeah literally! I think it’s so every assessment you do is unique, and you’re not just writing the same thing for every module as there could be potentially overlaps. I.e. I do modern history, and so things like the Cold War crop up all over the place. Theoretically, I could write the same...

    In my degree, self-plagiarism definitely is a thing, so maybe it bleeds over from that. In the sense that if you copy something that you've already written and submitted, it gets flagged by TurnItIn to be plagiarism, so you cannot write the same thing twice. They really really emphasise it too.

    Herbert Smith Freehills VS response help.

    I am no expert, but: I thought the first paragraph was really great- the first few sentences completely sold me. Somehow, I feel that despite you having many real achievements, you don't sell them as well as you could have done. I'd also get rid of the 'trulys' and 'genuinelys', as it gives...

    To be fair, I've been waiting for roughly 3 months to hear back from Blackrock and 2 months to hear back from BNP Paribas post interview.

    Also Jones Day recruits more non-law than law graduates which i thought was interesting, at roughly 60:40

    Yeah Jones Day definitely is one, one of the partners stressed it at the open day and the graduate recruitment person said that it’s the first part of the application she looks at.
