Conundrum over first-year scheme
Ended up applying. Trouble is, I have to confirm DLA by Feb 24th, meaning that unless I hear back from Freshfields in the next 3 days, I'll have no choice but to accept the DLA scheme, thus making it impossible to attend Freshfields' thingy. Hypothetically, let's say that I do confirm my DLA...- B1806

Conundrum over first-year scheme
Thing is, I don't know which one I'd choose. DLA has a three-day scheme, which is definitely better than two days, but there's no fast track for the vac scheme (which you do get if you go to Freshfields' spring workshop) Personally, I find revision easier to do at home. It would be an issue...- B1806

Conundrum over first-year scheme
I just got an offer from DLA Piper for their spring insight scheme, so I'm pretty happy. However, I'm in a bit of a pickle since the dates are right between the Easter holidays. This means that I'd either have to spend more than a week in London all by myself and without my family (uni friends...- B1806

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi Jessica, First of all thanks so much for taking the time to answer all of these questions! I just had three queries: 1. Several firms require that you provide module breakdowns even if you're applying for a first-year scheme. Now, as it happens, I don't have any formal grades yet (since I'm...- B1806

Norton Rose Fulbright first year scheme
I was told by my NRF campus ambassador to just address it to the grad rec team, but that might not have been right. Honestly not sure. Did you just talk about why NRF or did you mention why you're interested in a legal career too? I'm not sure whether to include a paragraph on that, as the...- B1806

Norton Rose Fulbright first year scheme
Right, thanks! I was exaggerating a bit in terms of focusing on that question then, good to know. Quick follow-up, in the cover letter, I was given a suggestion by a fellow student (who has been fairly successful in getting onto schemes) that I should also talk about why I want to do the scheme...- B1806

Norton Rose Fulbright first year scheme
I'm currently doing the application (finished my cover letter and everything), but I'm not sure how I should go about this question: If applicable, what do you do to keep up to date with your foreign language skills? (300 words max) Is it asking me to go into the specifics of how I...- B1806

What makes Ashurst different?
How did you include it in your application aside from just saying how neat it is that they're good at it? Did you talk about why that's interesting to you, did you deal-drop? Thanks for the reply :)- B1806

What makes Ashurst different?
I've looked at what practices they're good at and I don't see anything that I can latch onto. Legal 500 seems to suggest they're good at energy and project finance, whereas other sources suggest they have a strong corporate side. I met an associate from the firm a while ago (thankfully...- B1806
