Assessment Centre Tips
Hi, good thread! I became a lot better at ACs after lots and lots of attempts. I've said some of this before but thought it might be good if I keep all my advice here. I've added some things too.

Bristows Interview
It's not much but I found this on TSR (about the first round Bristows interview). "From what I can remember it was just 3 basic questions, it didn't really go beyond what you've already answered on the app form."- taneshS

Bristows Interview
Hey! I didn't interview at Bristows but I did interview at a similar tech/IP focused firm. I think one of the most important things (and where I fell down) is to have a clear understanding of why you want to work for a firm like Bristows, as compared to other firms. You don't want to make it...- taneshS

After an interview, I used to write down all the questions I was asked whilst it was still fresh in my mind and after a while I had a big list of questions. I wrote down practice...- taneshS

I secured a training contract!
Sadly yes so you can imagine why I'm so relieved right now! At the application stage, nitiallyi I thought it was because my grades weren't great and I' m sure that was definitely a reason. But I came to realise it was much more about how I was writing my applications. If you could see the...- taneshS
