[QUOTE="Koyin, post: 116831, member: 23336"] Hi Everyone! My top tip for applications is don't be afraid to reach out to people already working there to speak to them! Firms often have Open Days and other events where they invite current trainees and associates to talk about their experiences, and hearing about the firm through their experiences is often great as it gives you more substance to what it's really like working there. But if for any reason you haven't been able to attend such events, message people on LinkedIn!! Or ask anyone you know if they know people working at your target firm––people are a lot more willing to help than we think! Hearing directly from current and future trainees that have recently been through the application process can honestly give you invaluable insights and more unique talking points for your application, plus what they tell you is likely to be a very authentic and realistic image that you can't always get from just looking at the grad brochure. NOTE: You may find that for every 10 LinkedIn connect-request messages you send, you only get about two responses, but the effort is entirely worth it and speaking to two or three people per firm is really all you need. Give it a shot!! [/QUOTE]
