[QUOTE="Helena, post: 11419, member: 32"] They answer some questions on their website under FAQs: [SIZE=3][B][URL='https://www.slaughterandmay.com/careers/trainee-solicitors/application-process/application-faqs/#heading10036'] I have already provided all of my percentage results in the online form, do I need to include them in my CV as well?[/URL][/B][/SIZE] That is entirely up to you. [SIZE=3][B][URL='https://www.slaughterandmay.com/careers/trainee-solicitors/application-process/application-faqs/#heading5882'] What information should I include in my covering letter?[/URL][/B][/SIZE] It should include key information about the position you are applying for and any other relevant details, eg an explanation of any gaps in your CV or extenuating circumstances relating to examination results. A lengthy covering letter is not necessary. What we look for: We like people with: [LIST] [*]energy and spark who can relate to those around them [*]common sense, integrity and drive [*]a range of interests outside of the law [*]a sharp intellect – our work is intellectually demanding so the minimum standard we look for is three good A levels (or equivalent) and a good 2:1 in your degree [*]independent thought [*]commercial awareness [*]resolve and judgement [*]an interesting take on things [*]the ability to show grit under pressure [*]a good sense of humour [/LIST] To thrive here, you will also need enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to accept responsibility. I appreciate this does not answer all of the questions but perhaps gives an insight and may help with tailoring the CV accordingly. [/QUOTE]
