How many days does it take Reed Smith to send in their SJT?

Hi, does anyone know how Reed Smith recommends structuring the work experience descriptions for the online application? Should we mainly focus on outlining our responsibilities and skills, or would it also be beneficial to explicitly connect our experiences to transferable skills relevant to a trainee role?

I also unfortunately missed Reed smith webinar, do you have insights from it? It would be much appreciated

Hey all--friend had TC interview last week at Slaughters, if they haven't contacted their references yet should we assume PFO?

Baker SJT! Weirdly the same deadline date as those who got it yesterday which is a little unfair imo!

Has anyone heard from SH post app? It’s been at least 65 days since I applied and 46 since the app deadline. They’re supposedly rolling too…​
