    Sherman rejection after they've filled all their places on the schemes. Got the same message as last year: we liked your application so apply next year. Ah well!

    I think if you haven't even received the test yet, that's reason enough to email! Especially because 2 months have passed

    Although not quite a training contract yet, I'm happy to say I have a summer vacation scheme place with Simmons & Simmons. Thank you to everyone that's offered support or tips or answers to my questions. I hope from here it will be only onwards and upwards, for me and everyone else still working...

    No worries. And not yet! I did it last year though so might get similar results I think. Have you?

    Hey, it's not situational judgement but resembles it because it asks how you would act in a situation. I think it's designed to not have a right or wrong answer, just answers that demonstrate different personality types. E.G. would you be the type of associate who jumps at the chance to develop...

    Weekly Writing Tip 1: Clarity of Expression

    Clarity of expression in vacation scheme and training contract applications is a must if you want to stand out from the crowd. It’s brilliant if you have a lot of work experience and you participate in many extra-curricular activities, but if you can’t present them well to Graduate Recruitment...

    Talking about current employment - graduates

    hey! You've explained everything I've been thinking about brilliantly haha. After everyone's comments, I was definitely leaning towards drawing the positives out instead of negatives - it makes sense. Thank you :)

    Why you?

    I think it can be a bit of both. Ideally, your strengths should suit any commercial law firm since they all, fundamentally, do the same work. But then, you might narrow it down, especially if you think you suit a specific type of law e.g. transactional/litigation or you have experience in a...

    Getting familiar with contracts

    Hi Guys, As a non-law student, I haven't had a lot of exposure to contracts but want to get familiar with what they should look like/what to look out for if I'm maybe given one to analyse - specifically in a fictional transaction. Would anyone be able to recommend how to go about doing...

    Nice, well done :)

    Answering why specific office question

    hey :) I appreciate this is late but... So I think your points are valid because how valid can it be that work is evenly dispersed. Sometimes the reality is that a piece of work has to be undertaken in London because the best team for that work is there. Some specific reasons that spring to...

    Talking about current employment - graduates

    @Salma @AJ thank you for your insight guys! I think I was trying to say I wanted to contrast my current role with the future role that I want. E.g. client exposure/more responsibility. I don't want to downplay what I do now but also want to show that I have something physical that I'm basing...

    Talking about current employment - graduates

    Hello! I've been putting some thought into how I'm going to use my current job as a point of reference for where I've developed certain skills and competencies, in interviews. I've also been thinking about using it as an example of what I'm seeking to leave behind, e.g. : menial work where I...

    Hey Heather! To be really honest with you, this might count against you if you don't rectify it with Grad Rec. Their first thought might be that you're trying to hide that you've already applied, even though that's not the case. I'd go for an email, or, if you think you can come across well...
