    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    Thank you, Alice! Very useful. It's nice to know that some firms read your application before making you do the test - as that is what has let me down before despite practicing for a long time! It's always such a shame after spending so long on an application to be rejected before it has been...

    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    Hi Anthony, well done on your application progress so far! I wanted to ask - did you apply for a direct TC? And do Freshfields read applications prior to sending a WG test link or is the link sent automatically?

    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    Thanks for your reply! Did you add/list all your grades in one box? And list the subjects? Or did you add a new 'new education' section for each new grade?

    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    Under the education section, did everyone add their GCSEs and A Levels? The format seems suitable only for degree-level education.

    Individual Presentation Tips

    Amazing, thank you!! Really appreciate that. Also, sorry if this sounds incredibly misinformed - this is my first round of applying and I'm not a law student - but when you say 'your answer', do they provide you with questions?

    Individual Presentation Tips

    Hi everyone! I will have to conduct an individual presentation soon (5 minutes long followed by a 5 minute Q&A). This can be in any format I prefer, e.g. digital or not. The topic will not be legal, but related to current issues in the news. Has anyone ever had to prepare a presentation in...

Then, I do another case study interview (I'm not...

This was a mistake - I meant to put fluent. Should I just leave this and hope they don't notice or should I let them know...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I hope you're well. I have an interview for a summer vac scheme coming up in which I've been told I'll be asked a mixture of competency and technical questions. Graduate recruitment told me that since I am not a law student, these questions won't be directly related to law, but...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    That really is motivational advice, thank you. I have slightly more hope after finally hearing back from Baker McKenzie who will invite me to do the WG on Monday. A little step forward, but better than another rejection. Huge congratulations on your post-AC acceptance! And thank you again for...
