2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
C&C PFO for the London office. Most difficult rejection to take as I spent endless hours on it. My A-levels are holding me back despite mitigating circumstances. Screw the process.- KS94

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi @Jessica Booker I was wondering if you could give any tips on approaching situational interview questions? I know the most common tips are "answer as if you were a trainee in that position" but I often find my answer lacks depth. How might I go about improving this? Thanks!- KS94

Freshfields Dispute Resolution Internship Dubai?
I applied and received this in April - As you can probably understand, we are somewhat restricted with recruitment at the moment and also the need to prioritise other pressing matters as a business. I will be in touch when we have updates but given the uncertainty in the current landscape...- KS94

Legal Tech v Training Contract
I know this could be pretty controversial but I wanted everyone's opinion on legal tech which is shaking up the industry (and at a time where many junior positions are under threat). Whilst I appreciate that obtaining a TC is the holy grail, and that if both opportunities presented themselves...- KS94

Addleshaw Goddard
Thanks Jessica. For some reason I'm really finding myself struggling with this. It's probably a standard question for most but I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. I've found AG's key practice areas, found a few legal issues, but they just don't seem like they will have the depth I...- KS94

Addleshaw Goddard
For the "current legal issue" question, does the topic need to be a strictly legal issue or a commercial issue? I'm sort of struggling with ideas for this as even on the Chambers Student practice areas page most of the issues appear to be commercial issues, rather than legal..- KS94

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
Wow I didn't realise how hostile it was (and I guess still is). It made me think about the number of people who have really benefitted from, as you say, CLA's supportive environment and may not have obtained TCs if all they had were TSR users to rely on. It's a great credit to the whole CLA...- KS94

Thanks for responding so quickly Jessica. The issue I have is we've had a bereavement and Thanks Jessica. I wasn't planning on taking the test late but we've had some unexpected family news over the weekend which means the earliest I'll be able to do it will be tomorrow. I have now checked...- KS94

Hi Jessica, I managed to secure some vacation schemes in 2018 but have had little success in recent cycles. I think my answers are strong but I think there is a possibility that my extenuating circumstances for my A-level grades might be a hindrance. Do you have any tips on how best to navigate...- KS94
