    No problem! I wouldn't stress it either, I'm sure they'll just try your mobile, it must happen all the time! Best of luck for the interview :D

    Norton Rose Fulbright Telephone Interview

    I only put down my mobile number on application, so they rang me on that. Did you put a preference on which you'd want to be contacted on? :)

    Has anyone got any advice for a personal statement that is only 300 words? Should I be focusing more on 1 of 'why law', 'why me' or 'why the firm', or should I still be trying to fit them all in? Thanks for any help, Happy NY everyone!
