    Reusing part of a cover letter

    Thanks, that sounds like a great approach! :D

    Reusing part of a cover letter

    Sure, and intend to add those aspects. Some points are unchanged, though.

    Reusing part of a cover letter

    Last year, I got a place on Slaughter and May's Open Day after submitting my CV and cover letter. Now I'm applying for their summer vac scheme and was wondering whether it would be acceptable to leave certain elements unchanged (the bit talking about why I'm interested in the profession and...

    When and where did you get that report if you don't mind me asking? Did they email it to you?

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi @Jessica Booker, thanks for taking the time to answer all of these questions! I have an assessment centre coming up with Freshfields on the 16th of November and I was just wondering what your general advice would be in terms of preparing for the interview (both the competency/motivation one...

    Freshfields Vac Scheme Interview

    I just heard back from Freshfields that I have been fast-tracked (for completing their insight scheme and successfully passing a preliminary interview with grad rec) to their vac scheme interview for the summer scheme. I am overwhelmingly excited but simultaneously terrified, as this is the...

    Applying to DLA Piper's Summer Internship after completing the first year insight scheme?

    Yeah they told me the same, but they also said I can update the CV if I want to (which I ended up doing). By the way, did you hear back at all after doing the WG? Thanks!

    What is HL BaSE?

    I just finished my BaSE Legal Learning Hub Gold application and am now trying to open a vac scheme app, but Apply4Law is now telling me that: There are no options available for you to apply for (deadlines may have passed). I've logged in and out and that doesn't seem to change anything. I'm...

    Hogan Lovells application question (personal achievement)

    Thank you so much, I was heavily leaning towards that so that answer's very reassuring! :D

    Hogan Lovells application question (personal achievement)

    I'm applying for HL BaSE Legal Learning Hub and I've come across a question asking me about a notable personal achievement. I'm highly torn on what I should use for this. There are three major things I did over the past few years that I think are all good for their own unique reasons, but...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica! Thanks so much for taking the time to answer all of these questions. I'm sure everyone can agree that it is tremendously appreciated. :D I just had a question regarding work experience. Unlike many applicants, I have never done an internship or work-shadowing scheme at a local law...

    Winter vac schemes vs Summer vac schemes?

    Thank you to everyone who responded!

    Winter vac schemes vs Summer vac schemes?

    I'm a penultimate year Law student and I'm working on applying to a number of vac schemes, but some firms have multiple schemes available (winter, summer or in some cases even spring) and I can only apply to one. What are the benefits of each? From what I can tell, summer ones last longer...

    Applying to DLA Piper's Summer Internship after completing the first year insight scheme?

    In April of 2020 I completed DLA Piper's spring insight scheme. A week or so ago, I received an email from DLA Piper telling me I should "review and complete my application" for the summer internship and that the vacancy will already be listed on my account. I checked and the application was in...

    Latham & Watkins Open Day

    Feb. I just thought that since the deadline was the same for both they would also send out offers at the same time.

    Which rate benchmark do banks use when lending to corporate clients?

    In the US, these are generally prime rates, which tend to skew towards the fed rates, but how does it work globally and in the UK? LIBOR refers to interbank lending, but which benchmark is used when the banks give out loans to PE funds and the sort? Is it the BoE rates?
