I'm sorry, but for example here an em dash would be quite useful: 'Most of the grad teams don't like seeing them in any of the applications — hence, it is always better to avoid them.' Firms really reject applications based on AI when it is very obvious (i.e., extremely generic and overly...- dannyp123

Hey guys, I'm applying for Mishcon de Reya's Summer Vacation Scheme this year. I was wondering whether there are pre-set questions for the AI chatbox style questions and what these might be? Thanks!- dannyp123

Yeah this is hella annoying, I use em dashes because I grew up using them but because Chat GPT likes using them people call it AI- dannyp123

Hi everyone, I’m planning my answers for Addleshaw Goddard’s application before it opens and I’m a bit stuck on the first question: “What attracts you to a career in commercial law and why specifically at Addleshaw Goddard?” I’m unsure whether to focus on the firm’s culture (e.g., high...- dannyp123

Hey guys, random question: why do you think being innovative or entrepreneurial is important for trainees at law firms? I get why it matters for senior lawyers, since they’re more directly involved in creating client solutions and driving business development. But I’m struggling to see the link...- dannyp123

It's fine but maybe make sure to say the full "Private Equity" and then put the abbreviation in brackets to read like this: "Private Equity (PE)". Then you can refer to it as PE the rest of the answer.- dannyp123

The application question is: ‘Is technology and AI an opportunity or a threat for the firm and why?’ The trainee I spoke with mentioned that they use the firm’s AI tools every day and that it really improves their efficiency. That’s why I thought it would be useful to mention this conversation...- dannyp123

That makes sense — thank you! The only reason I was wondering is because one of their application questions is about tech, and the insight I gained was specifically from the trainee describing their experience using tech at the firm. So I felt like it might make more sense to reference that I...- dannyp123

I only realised afterwards that I’d forgotten their name, and I’ve had no luck finding them on LinkedIn or the firm’s website. Do you think there’s still any point in...- dannyp123
