    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Hi Alice I managed to pass the A&O test without preparing specifically for it. I did not find it as difficult as some that I have taken as most of it was common sense and taking initiative (but still remembering that you are a trainee and learning). I just answered the test honestly - that...

    How important are grades for vac schemes and training contracts?

    My friend secured a training contract at a top firm with a 2:2. He has very good work experience and is an excellent communicator so I guess he stood out. I averaged a 2:1 in my first and third year and graduated with 2:1 (62%) but I have a 2:2 in my second year. I am still able to make it past...

    Oh your first one? Sorry to hear that. I remember how the first rejection felt. It gets easier and it is all part of the process - I am sure you already know that. Make sure you don't take it personally and just use the rejection as a chance to grow. Good luck to you too! :)

    I agree - you do become invested. I thought my app was good to be honest and I was genuinely interested in the change in the legal sector I wrote about. I have noticed a correlation between applications that I am successful in vs apps I am not successful in....I always seem to do better in...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica. I just realised that I made a mistake on an application form and accidentally over inflated my land law grade by 6% - should I email grad rec and correct the grade, or wait to see whether I progress to interview stage and then let grad rec know?

    Yes, I think I had a thank you at the end too. I am sure everyone is supposed to find out whether they passed or did not pass. Maybe check your junk mail folder? Failing that, I would probably email :D

    Ask Shearman & Sterling Anything!

    Hi Paul and Alexandra I have been interested in applying to Shearman & Sterling for a while now but I have always been put off because I know that one of the key things you look for when reviewing an application is 60% or above in contract law. My grade is a little shy of this. I graduated...
