@Jessica Booker Do you think it's best to lead with one of these, explain its importance, and give a specific example of how it differentiates itself in that area from another competitor?I think there are many ways you can approach this and no one way is the right way.
The first thing is to set how you have decided the criteria to differentiate them by. That could be a whole host of things:
Practice areas
Sector focus
Strategy (and then broken down into a whole range of sub categories within strategy)
Client relationships
Technology
Alternative Services
Values
How the train/develop people
Reward or recognition structures or processes
You then need to explain why you feel this category is important, but then also provide any evidence rationale as to why they are doing what they are is different to the norm of other law firms.
Thr firm will likely want to see some form of development in your application to consider warrant bringing you through to next stage again. There can be a thinking as to why the outcome would be any different to the first time if there is nothing that evidences some form of opportunity to develop the skills/motivations/capabilities that needed to be stronger in the first set of assessments. But if you can demonstrate this, I don’t think you are at a disadvantage - in some instances, it may be an advantage as they may have seen a lot of positives in you the first time and are just hoping you develop in key areas (and that you reapply).
A poor performance still means there are development points though, even if that someone needs to be more confident or consistent in their performance.What if you just had poor performance on the day?
Mishcon have been sending VI invites over the past few weeks, so hopefully you'll get yours soon!Anyone heard from:
- Mischon summer (post-app)
- Withers summer (post-online test)
- Ashurst summer (post-online test)
Yeah very unprofessional not meeting their own deadlines as well… how shit. You haven’t heard back ? Please do give an update when you do and hopefully what they said in the website isn’t true 🙏🏼. And when I try to go to the DAS application it just says vacancy closed and doesn’t even let me view my application though?If you go to the website where you application is stored. The log in for careers at Fieldfisher. It will show the application you submitted and its status. I don't want to say that's what their verdict is. It just shocked me that an update like that had been made without me knowing. I only noticed this because I wanted to go through a response I submitted for a similar question that came up in another application. Take my information very lightly as you won't know what they think until they say.

I must be really stupid but I have searched everywhere and cannot find their application hub. They didn’t send me anything in email like other firms do with the link to check ur application etc. and when I click the DAS application it just says vacancy closed and doesn’t let me view anything. How did you manage to?I'm not sure as I only applied to London - if the other offices have ACs still to run then I assume it was just London.
If you go to their application hub your status should have been updated to either withdrawn/rejected or offer made
Sameee, can’t find their application hub and check the status of my application lolI must be really stupid but I have searched everywhere and cannot find their application hub.

How did you manage to?
I‘m waiting to hear back from W&C too post app for summerHi anyone still waiting to hear from Ashurst post test and White & Case post app? Not sure if I should take it as a sign of rejection or keep waiting.
I just figured it out. You just apply to a random job there to start an application and then you can see past applications. But my application didn’t have withdraw or reject thing ? They just said they will email the outcome?Sameee, can’t find their application hub and check the status of my application lol

It is unlikely you will find a Canadian focused masters course in the U.K. - there just wouldn’t be the demand for it. Your best bet would be to study at this level in Canada.@axelbeugre @Jessica Booker
Hello Jessica & Axel, I hope your are well.
I was just writing to ask if you know any UK universities that offer a masters degree in Canadian law. I don't know if this is the best place to ask or where to go regarding this, hence the message. I'm currently unsure as to what to do. I'm in my second year doing LLB law but I wish to move to Canada in the future. I know firms like NRF have a great presence in Canada, but is this better or is it better to work in a Canadian firm headquartered in Canada? If everything goes well, for example at NRF TC etc, upon qualification, can I transfer to the Canadian office of NRF? Also don't know whether to go down the SQE route or NCA exams? Is it too risky to do NCA exams instead of SQE?
I hope to hear from you,
Thank you
