[QUOTE="NickMcK, post: 38195, member: 3800"] One thing I found useful last year was to look at the application forms of each firm I wanted to apply to, or at least the ones I was really interested in, and use the careers fair as an opportunity to clarify parts of the application form I was unsure of. E.g. 'Question X is about a commercial topic - would you prefer that I write about something relevant to commercial law on a large scale or something which is directly applicable to your firm?' This was a great way to learn something useful and then start a broader conversation about my interest in the firm. It also allowed me to avoid some pitfalls I would have missed if I hadn't asked - e.g. 'We are sick of hearing about Brexit, please don't write about that as everyone writes about that'. This does mean spending time looking at the application process of each firm...but this is research you need to do anyway. [/QUOTE]
