    Does anything else think that SJTs are just a way of randomly filtering people out without reason? I know they supposedly test your skills, but every time I do one I get different strengths and weaknesses. I see them as just a bit of a lottery.

    Does anyone have any advice on mental health during these cycles? It may be too early to say this, But I am already stressed out by this application cycle. I've managed to hand in a few, but I hate handing them in, because it's then out of my control. I'm very scared by what'll happen after...

    hello, what is the difference between 'job description' and 'achievements' in the Linklaters app? Do we have to fill in the achievements section Also, Is there no space on the Linklaters application to add a postgrad degree that isn't professional?

    I think someone else asked about this but I can’'t see it. Is this question on the Hogan Lovells application asking about extracurriculars? Tell us about any experiences outside of your work and study that have allowed you to develop skills that are relevant to this role.
