In addition to the great comments given already, start by explaining very briefly why you choose that story over the millions you could have chosen. It will explain something about you and your interests, which is a vital part of the assessment to a qusafiom like this.- TCLA Community Assistant

Won't be completely generic - they won't encourage applications from people they don't think are strong enough. If they Recruit heavily from VS, then it's probably a way go redirect you. How many other applicants go the email is the question though!- TCLA Community Assistant

The first part is all about selling your individual strengths and what makes you stand out from other applicants. The motivation is aligning your personal aspirations for your career with what the firm can offer you over other firms.- TCLA Community Assistant

You don't have go reach the word limit. If you write concisely and in a well structured way you could be up to 20% under the word count and it wouldn't be seen as a negative if you covered all the points needed- TCLA Community Assistant

I don't think there is an answer to what the split should be unfortunately. There's too many variables to consider. Unfortunately over applying is a risk that all candidates need to consider and factor in to their decision making process. I don't think of unique do winter schemes, it applies...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - best to call and then write an email confirming you are withdrawing your acceptance and will not be proceeding with the role. I’ll be frank, you are playing them really but you have to own it/deal with it. The firm are going to be relieved you withdrew before you joined rather than...- TCLA Community Assistant

They are trying to see evidence of your interest in their work. Find a deal that particularly interests you - it maybe because of the practice areas involved, it maybe the sector the client is in, it might be because of the countries/jurisdiction it covers. You don’t necessarily have to go into...- TCLA Community Assistant

Pretty sure you’d fall into the same category as a final year non law grad (as your degree is not an English law degree) and therefore the 2024 intakes seem the most appropriate. You may want to contact the firm or check their website to understand how they are converting to the SQE though and...- TCLA Community Assistant

I meant if you are singing the praises of cryptocurrency, you may just want to ensure there is some balance or you have the ability to really back up your thinking/rationale. Have you never done presentations at school or at uni?- TCLA Community Assistant

I don’t think comparing yourself to people on LinkedIn is helpful. People only put certain information on LinkedIn which means it is rarely a reflection of what they have actually done in life. It also gives no insight into their applications or interviews. I’d strongly advise against trying to...- TCLA Community Assistant

No - don’t think it would be negative at all. I’d just make sure the presentation has some balance to it, or that you anticipate any questions that might challenge your thinking.- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d probably just make sure it is tied back in a “just in case” situation. I think firms are more open to these things now, but might as well take the risk adverse option.- TCLA Community Assistant

You’d need to check with the firm. Some may consider it that you are applying for the same role and therefore no appropriate to reapply. Others may consider it within a new application cycle and so may allow a second application.- TCLA Community Assistant
