    That's very kind of you - thank you very much for the offer! Please could you tell me when you heard from them regarding the next stage, roughly? I feel like it's been a while since the deadline!

    Hello all. Has anyone written a successful cover letter for Sullivan & Cromwell that they would be willing to share/give some pointers, please? Would be inordinately grateful, particularly as this will be my last application for this cycle!!

    Does anyone know whether you can apply to Dentons twice in one cycle, please? The answer isn't in their FAQs online, unfortunately.

    No, not at all I appreciate it! I have done that, it's more that I am going to actually run out of enough things to say for this question, having used the content elsewhere. I'll try to think of more new things for this section then!

    Right, that's what I thought. It's quite hard to do so as the application features numerous extensive questions, so I'm at risk of repeating myself.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Thanks! Usually, I would have assumed as such, but it's the first question in the application form so I was a bit thrown off (rather than the last, where I'm used to seeing it). Thanks again!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi there, has anyone tackled the 'Please give details of any qualifications or skills that may be relevant to your application' in the Rosenblatt application, please? I'm unsure as to what exactly this is asking, considering the application is sufficiently thorough. Any insight would be...

    Ah okay, great - thanks very much @Kelly_ I'm trying to keep mine around 300, but maybe I'll splash out a bit (where needed).

    Oh great! Yes, it is! I was wondering, how long are your answers roughly? There's no indication so I'm a bit nonplussed as to length.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I am definitely trying hard to think outside the box! Most of the errors I have been involved in resolving were those made by others, unfortunately for me in this question, haha. Thanks to you and @Jessica Booker's advice I think I have an example from my last position wherein our team was a...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Thanks Jessica, I will think some more. With all due respect, I do think I've challenged myself plenty (for example, moving to work abroad just as the pandemic began, amongst others), it's just that I've not 'failed' in the way this question presupposes.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi Jessica. Thanks. I understand this aspect (what have you learned etc), but I'm having trouble locating a real example in which I have made a mistake to draw on. I'm not so ridiculous to say I've not made any mistakes, but am having trouble finding an example that I can talk about at length.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to tackle this question: 'Please give us an example of when you have learned from a mistake. What was the mistake you made, and what did you learn from it?' I'm finding it really difficult to think of a mistake I have made that would be suitable in this context... Does...

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know WHEN (i.e. which month) White & Case actually make direct TC offers? There is no timeline on their website relating to the process, unfortunately.
