Although there is a board in place at Tesla, it is Elon's vision and...

    K so what is happening with Orrick? We have to write 500 word cover + all this other stuff? @Jessica Booker what do you recommend putting in the cover letter when substantive skills are to be discussed in the other sections (why Orrick, why commercial law, tell us about a time when). Thanks

    Might I add another update (4) Rejected at 10 other US firms, with not even a "we liked your application" type of reply. Much like everyone here, the resilience we are all gaining by going through this process will make us better people as we progress forward throughout each of our careers.

    Firms you can apply to multiple times in the same recruitment cycle

    Just adding to this @Adrian_S Morgan Lewis let's you reapply - on their form it says: You should only apply for one position at a time. If you wish to apply for both the summer scheme and training contract, please wait until you have been notified of the outcome of your summer scheme...

    Just realised now that Freshfields has a template for its personal statement, which I did not use. Hope someone else gets the WG and uses it to their advantage.
