I see Eversheds Sutherland have the same application questions as last year (and I think going back a few years before too). Is there any advice anywhere on how to approach these and what they are looking for? Given they’ve been the same for a few years I haven’t found much, and the firm...- James Wakefield

I got Pride, Growth Mindset and Efficiency as my strengths and ‘preference to be relaxed and informal’ as my weakness. Haven’t heard back from the firm but I applied in September so assuming PFO.- James Wakefield

Hi all- I’m wondering if anyone has some advice on applying to Taylor Wessing? I’m especially interested in what they look for in the cover letter and how’s that’s different to ‘What motivates you for a career in Law at Taylor Wessing and what key skills would you bring? {provide answer of 2500...- James Wakefield

The website says ‘We’ll read applications as they come in but won’t fill our assessment centre places before the deadline closes.’ I take that as possibly rolling, as it implies they may allocate some AC places before the deadline. Would be interested to know if anyone has heard otherwise.- James Wakefield

I can relate- I actually like doing the Watson Glaser, it’s my favourite test. The one I cannot stand though is Artic Shores game-based assessments. They really suck!- James Wakefield

The good news with these is that multiple answers may be correct (at least the case for AG practice), so not as bad as it seems. In this case weak, and very weak?- James Wakefield

I think they say on their website something along the lines of ‘we don’t fill all our places before the deadline’. I interpret this to mean they are reviewing applications on a rolling basis. However, since they are having technical issues with their automatic test, there‘s probably no rush to...- James Wakefield

I got a rejection for an Open Day for a firm last year but was successful in applying for their Vacation Scheme. Sometimes firms have limited Open Day places (especially in-person) or may be looking for different criteria. If it’s your top firm, I would say definitely still worth applying for...- James Wakefield
