    You’re very welcome. We’ve chosen to enter one of the hardest fields so we do have to cut ourselves some slack, celebrate every win whether it’s big or small and if things don’t go your way, you are allowed to be upset about it but try to not let it consume you. You’ve got this and can’t wait to...

    Back with another update! I received the Goodwin VI- was super shocked but happy of course. I think the VI went well but we shall see. Got rejected by Bakers post app and annoyed about Freshfields introducing the online tests!! 😭

    I know it’s hard to be positive right now but your applications are progressing and you are getting interviews, and that is a massive achievement in itself. Do not lose hope and keep on trying, it is your dream after all! Maybe take a break for today as your mental and physical health is equally...

    Yup, unlimited time between each question! So they show you the question and when you’re ready to answer, you press record.

    You absolutely do! Most law firms highlight how they’re after transferable skills and that their applications are open for non law graduates. Seems like you already know how to navigate through the applications- linking it to transferable skills and even a sector you’re interested in etc. Keep...

    Just did Reed Smith SJT/VI… excelled in verbal and scored in the middle for numerical. Scored 7,4,4,3 for the pillars lmao. VI could’ve gone a bit better but the questions were hard! So much to pack within 2 minutes and I think I froze at one point (not the screen, me) 😂😭 Gonna try to forget...
