Training Contracts for Beginners
Hi Zahra - to add to what the others have said already - 1. How did you decide on which firms to apply to? When I began the process, law firms appeared very much alike. It was only after I spent more time applying/interviewing/vacation scheming that I had a better idea of how law firms were...- Jaysen

'Tell us about a topic you know' question
Can you confirm what grad rec said about finding it very important you relate a story back to the firm? I find this strange because the question does not ask you to do this. I have also seen successful applications where students did not do this. Not to say that you aren't telling the truth but...- Jaysen

GCSE and A Level Certificates
Yes - if I recall correctly you do. Might be best to wait and explain the situation to a law firm when you receive your offer.- Jaysen

Allen & Overy app - 2018/19
If you're interested in LawTech then that's fine. Students do often write about the issue but as @Demna87 said it's better to write about an obvious issue well v a niche issue less well. You can link it to A&O but you don't have to (the question would have said so to if they required you to do so).- Jaysen

Commercial awareness or interview books?
I'm not familiar with books on interview techniques (although I'm sure there are). For commercial awareness - I assume you know "All you need to know about the City"? @Hazal has also recommended Christopher Stoakes' commercial awareness book before. I've also heard about the Commercial Law...- Jaysen
