[QUOTE="AJ, post: 6728, member: 543"] How long is a piece of string... Apply to as many as you can, whilst maintaining quality and fitting applications around all your other committments. The end number of applications will be different for you, different for me and different for others. Quality and quantity are not mutually exclusive. I don’t agreed with advice which suggests limiting the number of applications. That’s naive advice as it’s a highly competitive process! There are so many factors to narrow firms. For example, practice areas, size of intake, type of work you want to do, guaranteed seat or secondment, size of office, training style, structure of training contract, etc. Once you do this, by coincidence you may arrive at a small list of firms. But an exact number will just come down to lots of researching. Personally, I hate answering the why firm X question, so I narrow firms by where I can come up with clear reasons for wanting to work there over firm Y. [/QUOTE]
