    Linklaters

    sorry, one last question, when talking about how I have tried to develop my problem-solving skills - should I be talking about the steps taken within mooting to do so or how mooting develops problem-solving skills or should I be using several examples alongside mooting to demonstrate how I have...

    Linklaters

    thanks so much for your reply! So I was planning to do 2/3 of these and focus on personal development in another example- would you recommend maybe doing fewer examples and focusing on them in more depth?

    Linklaters Winter Vacation Scheme

    Hi Jaysen, would you be able to expand slightly on what you mean here-when you say examples of going over and above to do something to a high standard, would you then link this back to the "skills" you developed as a result?

    I passed the VI stage- I remember just answering what a trainee does in a quite generic way, like go to court, draft minutes etc- I didnt really get too bogged down into the details- I hope that helps a bit

    quick question for the Linklaters application- when talking about the major change and industry disruptions which could affect the firm, I have found that a lot of what I have said is probably equally applicable to other international law firms- does this mean it is not tailored enough? (I know...
