Hi everyone

Hello everyone!

My name is Jasmine Mohamud, I am currently a paralegal at Hugh James in their Cardiff office.

This will be my second application cycle and since I have had no luck yet I am hoping to secure some vacations scheme and hopefully secure a TC with my dream firm (fingers crossed ahha!).

I am looking forward to get to know you all!

Hello everyone!
I am currently applying for the Hugh James summer placement scheme. I was concerned that there is no word limit for the answers and I am not sure how detailed my answers need to be. Would really appreciate some advice!

How many questions are there?

How many questions are there?

There are four 'Law and Hugh James' questions and there are five 'experiences' questions

Wow - that’s a long application form!

I would say to aim for 250 per question as this will mean the total application is no more than 2500 words in total. If you felt one answer could be a little shorter and one a little longer, you could balance it out this way, but I’d aim for no more than 2500 words in total.

Hello, reviving this thread once again! In the experiences section, one of the questions asks "To date, what sacrifices have you made to achieve your goals?" - is this to be interpreted as any goal (outside of pursuing a legal career)? The plural "goals" must mean they are keen to hear about more than 1 goal, however there is no word limit. Would it be best to write about 2 interlinked goals to keep the answer more structured? Sorry so many questions from me!
