You're interested in Reed Smith, but you want to know how to make the most of your application. How do you write your application in a way that stands out?

Join Jaysen and Reed Smith's Graduate Recruitment Manager, Rebecca Schrod, as they discuss everything that you need to know to make your application stand out this cycle.

Jaysen and Rebecca will cover each question on Reed Smith's application this year, including:

⭐️ Why have you decided to pursue a career in Commercial Law?

⭐️ Why Reed Smith in particular?

⭐️ Focusing on one of Reed Smith’s sectors, what current issues do you think will impact this sector? What opportunities or challenges could this present Reed Smith or our clients?

They'll discuss what graduate recruitment looks for in a candidate's application, so that you can be sure you're hitting the mark in your own writing. Who better to learn from than the firm's graduate recruitment themselves!

This event is completely free and open to everyone, simply register here ahead of the event and you will receive your Zoom link via email. 😊

Let's get you to that interview stage! 🤩
