[QUOTE="Legalese, post: 1189, member: 244"] I have completed a vac scheme and got interviews at some top firms however I have never done more than make my application questions or cover letter very thorough, firm specific and clear. Obviously I have had a host of rejections as well. I was thinking - do law firms want to see how your work experience ties in with a future trainee role..?! I have never done this, I usually just copy and paste my generic work experience but is this something I should be doing? In other words, should I be tailoring my work experience entries to that specific training contract firm? Does anyone do this and is it a good idea? (bearing in mind, I am not totally sure I have the time to construct amazing new work experience paragraphs without making it look like a lazy add on) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
