    I am not Ram, but if you do email Graduate Recruitment I would avoid mentioning your other assessments as I doubt they’d be sympathetic and they aren’t on the same day

    Hi @Jessica Booker, hope you are well. I was just wondering whether you had any guidance on writing a CV for firms that dont have a proper application portal and want candidates to upload a CV (Cleary, Winston & Strawn). For Winston specifically, I cannot find anything on whether to include a...

    "Please include activities, interests and positions of responsibility, whether at school, university or otherwise." How is it best to structure this question? I had half a mind of doing bullet points, but with the limited word count i'm wondering whether it is better to write in prose so that I...

    If an application does not have a separate section for career events but has one for extracurriculars, is it alright to include career events (open days, etc) in work experience or should they go in extracurriculars? I was planning on having uni society work in the EC section, but unsure where...

    What I’ve learned from this forum is that there is no point stressing about W&C because they take “taking their sweet time” to a whole other level

    I hate to be That Person, but this is kind of on you, and I don’t think it will help your application to go to Graduate Recruitment and say “well AcShUAllY” Tbh this is the thing I find most frustrating about SJT — that lots of the options are usually things I would never do irl but we gotta...

    I don’t think they tell you whether you passed it, you just either get invited to AC or don’t

    I'd say generally it's good to get across what you hope to gain from attending the open day by demonstrating a genuine interest in learning about a certain practice area of the firm or the culture. In my successful applications (though I have no idea how competitive they were) I really...

    Does anyone have experience with applying to HL vac scheme after submitting a lift off application and doing the WG? Unsure about what to do bc if you meet the benchmark then you don't have to retake the WG but otherwise you do, but HL doesn't tell people whether they've met the benchmark 😅

    Sectors are the industries in which they work (pharmaceutical, tech, life sciences, etc), practices are the areas of law that they specialise in, or practice(M&A, tax, antitrust, etc), but usually multiple practices apply to the same sector and viceversa :)
