Hey guys,

I submitted an application to Freshfields, but I made a mistake and I do not know to what extent that mistake will play a role in the outcome of my application.

In a work experience entry, my first sentence was I rotated across the immigration and property departments. I talked so much about my work in the property department, but did not talk about my work in the immigration department. This was my final work experience entry in the form.

How will graduate recruitment consider this mistake.

Thanks,
Rijul

This isn’t something they would consider a mistake. They would just think you have aligned your experiences more to real estate.

Strengths assessment is a pretty straightforward SJT. Mayer Brown's verbal reasoning is a bit unlike anything I've seen elsewhere, and tests a broader range of attributes than straight-on critical reasoning.

Okay cool! So it’s like critical thinking in the form of a situation, as opposed to a written passage?

Did it go okay?

Yes it wasn’t too bad! It was definitely challenging but not impossible, and I found it pretty enjoyable overall. The interviewers were extremely nice. Good luck with yours
