Message: <blockquote data-quote="AvniD" data-source="post: 89708" data-attributes="member: 17155">Hi [USER=11956]@annemie.heubach[/USER]! It seems like you're very clear on what you like and have backed it up with work experience, which is very impressive 👏👏 Cutting down on firms can be really difficult but a useful starting point is to prioritise those firms that you've interacted with, either at graduate recruitment events or independently. This is because your application will be so much more impactful if you can demonstrate that you've made the effort to get to know the firm before applying. If you've not interacted with any firms, then look out for webinars, online events and Open Days and apply to them swiftly. Alternatively, you could reach out to lawyers at the firms you're interested in independently as [USER=17165]@George Maxwell[/USER] suggested in his brilliantly expressed advice above. If you still find that your list is too long, then look into the nitty gritty of the structure of the training contract at each firm. For example- do you want your training contract to have 4 or 6 seats? Do you want opportunities for international and/or client secondments? What's the retention rate been over the past few years? What kind of support is available during the training contract? Looking into these details can help personalise your list and reduce your choices to only those firms who you like for the quality of their work and the structure of their training. Additionally, if you are an international student, then do consider including visa sponsorship and minimum salary requirements when choosing which firms to include in your list. I can go into how to go about doing this in further detail if you are indeed an international student and would like more advice on this. Please ignore if this does not apply to you!</blockquote>
