Ask Jaysen (TCLA's Founder) Anything!

The first part is just giving you some context to the question. I'd just flag, I see quite a few applicants approach this from the angle of how law firms can generally market themselves. Just make sure you're first taking the time to research AG and what makes it unique; this is an opportunity...- Jaysen

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi Ehab, Apologies for the delay. I'm afraid application reviews don't carry over each month. I've cancelled your subscription. I'm afraid we don't have a separate forum for quick responses at this point in time, although this is something I'lll look into. Best, Jaysen- Jaysen
