Might be a silly question - I'm interested in applying for Ashurst's March 2023 TC and I am aware that applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. I haven't submitted my application yet but if they have filled their spaces for their March 2023 intake before they review my application and let's...
Hi! For anyone that has completed Baker McKenzie’s video interview, could you share how many seconds we have to answer a question and how much prep time we get?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Alice! Thanks for checking up on us :) It was really good - one of the best open days I've attended! Although I would have preferred it to be in person, it was definitely very informative and they really made an effort to make the event interactive. I've just sent in my TC application so...
I am in the middle of my TC application for Freshfields and I saw that the top of the personal statement template provided, it states that we need to briefly explain why we are making an application. I was wondering if we would need to explicitly mention why we are applying for the TC or it...
Hi @Jessica Booker!
I have a query about how I should answer one of Stephenson Harwood's application questions:
"Tell us about responsibilities you have taken on outside of work and/or study. (250 words)
Outline your personal achievements
What motivated you to achieve this?
How have you...
Unfortunately there isn't an "other" option! The application form allows me to proceed to other sections though. I might have to email grad rec if it doesn't allow me to complete it. Thanks anyways! :)
I'm currently trying to fill up the application form but I'm having trouble inputting my schools. I'm an international student and the form only allows you to pick from a list of schools on their database, and the school I went to isn't there. There is no option to manually input this...
Hi Alice,
I've just gotten a place on the Freshfields Graduate Workshop and I'm over the moon! I saw in one of the previous threads that you previously attended the workshop, I wanted to ask if you have any tips on getting the most out of the day? Sorry if this is a generic question!
Thanks...
Hi @Jessica Booker,
When coming up with examples for competency questions or for questions on why I make a good commercial lawyer, how recent do my examples have to be? As a career changer, I haven't had much 'interesting' experiences in the last two years and I know that firms usually want a...
Hi! Does anyone know when Ashurst's direct TC application opens? There is no information on their website but on Chambers it says that the deadline for this is on 8 January 2021?
Hi @Jessica Booker,
I'm in the midst of drafting an Open Day application at Stephenson Harwood and one of the questions is as follows:
"Tell us when you have exceeded expectations in your work, study and/or outside interests.
What challenges did you experience?
How did you respond to those...
Hi @Jessica Booker , apologies for a slightly panicked question but in one of my applications I've accidentally inputted the wrong location for my work experience. I know they might not pick up on it but I'm just slightly wary because it relates to a local law firm in Asia and I've selected...
I do understand that however they explicitly said that candidates focused too much on what they enjoyed about the role rather than what they did. I just don’t quite understand why they’d ask in the question what made it so enjoyable because it made me assume that the focus of the question was...
Just to add as well just in case other candidates have yet to submit their application. Grad rec have said that for the question below they don’t want you to talk much about the team dynamic and what you found enjoyable but instead what your role was in the team.
We are a global firm that...
