Clifford Chance TC commencing 2023

[bangy]

Hi,

I’m looking to apply for the TC for Clifford Chance and have a few questions!

• Could we include virtual internships/insight schemes as part of the “work experience” section?
• Does scoring a 2:2 in one module (but scoring good 2:1s in the rest of the modules) hinder the application at all?
• What approach could we take in answering the TC application question as it’s very broad and could go in all sorts of directions?

Thanks for reading and I hope you can answer one question! Also, please don’t hesitate to add other questions on here that I may not have thought of but others may be able to answer!

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Focus on showing important soft skills / competencies that may not be easily reflected in the work experience section.

I am a bit confused as the LinkedIn/CV policy on InsideSherpa (now Forage) clearly states that you can not put the global virtual internship on CVs as work experience and it must be put in the extracurricular and academic achievements section, and so I would assume that the same rule would apply with the application?

Hi, I've been sent an email by Clifford Chance saying, "We are emailing to let you know that your application has been put on the reserve list to interview, however this does not guarantee a place at an assessment day."

How common is this and what are my chances of getting an AC?

If anyone has any insights they'd be greatly appreciated
