    Did the HSF assessment and a minute later I received a response saying I hit the benchmark. If only we would receive outcomes that quickly huh?!

    Slaughter and May PFO. Applied on 4 Sept I think. Personally I think I did a solid cover letter but I think some of my uni grades let me down, damn those 2:2s!!! Since Slaughter and May is so grade crazy, they should just hire robots. No need for humans at that firm. 😭

    Linklaters Capp assessment: I scored highly for commercial thinking and excellence, and lowest for critical thinking. May the Lord help me 😂

    Does Linklaters send you the WG scores automatically or you have to request it?

    I’m re-doing my CV, is it best practice to stick to bullet points or write small succinct paragraphs?

    Luckily, I do have some WFH weeks I can take (taking a week next week) so that would be a massive help and I’m saving my annual leave in case I do manage to get a WVS. Stupid question but if I get a VS, do I have to declare this to my current employer?

    Hi all, just after some general advice please. I’m a career changer (well, trying to achieve this). I work full time and have now started the PGDL. I am trying to balance it all but as you can imagine, working full time/studying and also doing applications is intense. Would you recommend I...
