summer!Is this for the Spring scheme?
If it is a particular deal/matter, I think it needs to have wide reaching consequences for the legal sector, which is often not the case for many deals/cases. Therefore a broader story might be more appropriate unless there is something ground breaking about the deal/matter.Just following on this, if anyone can help I’ll be grateful!
Thank you and appreciate and yh I get you.My advice is, not that it is necessarily right, not to give an opinion on Trump/Labour or any political stuff. Base everything you say in fact, if everything you say is substantiated it shows your ability to analyse information and, more importantly, lets you seem bit more impartial about stuff.
It would be pretty easy to review applications within a couple of days if they did have capacity.Just received a pfo from eversheds, but I submitted my application on Saturday and I thought it was non-rolling. No idea how they could review my 2000 word application in that time? I used grammarly as a spellchecker - does any know if this counts as AI?
Really? I can tell when I use grammarly because it hyphenates a lot of things it shouldn’t and puts too many commas in a sentence. It’s great for concise writing and spelling but I feel it hinders an application overall.It would be pretty easy to review applications within a couple of days if they did have capacity.
Technically any spell checker (even on Word) is AI, which is why the idea of not using AI in applications is particularly bizarre. I don’t think a firm would pick up on the use of Grammarly though.
There are a range of free tools on the internet that will ‘scan’ your application answers for ‘AI’. One is GPTZero. I don’t know how accurate/reliable these are but you could always run future answers through one of these to check its not flagging AI material.Just received a pfo from eversheds, but I submitted my application on Saturday and I thought it was non-rolling.

If the rest of the application is strong enough I don't think a few errors of this nature should be a big issue, especially when partially caused by tech problems. Furthermore, emailing HR about this shows a number of positive qualities, like proactivity and an ability to take responsibility for your mistakes. Regardless, I would definitely not expect this to be of any relevance when applying for a VS. It is not common practice for firms to look at past insight events applications when assessing you for a VS, and even if they did I would be surprised if they placed any weigh on these errors.I’m so annoyed with myself. The internet kept coming in and out so I’ve missed some of an app that I submitted. I also made a mistake on two of the dates of employment. It’s only an insight evening but I was hoping to use that to get info for the vac scheme. Just have to email HR acknowledging the mistakes and provide the missing information I guess and hope they don’t remember my open day application when looking at my vac scheme application. Oh well 😔
Like any AI (even spellcheck) use it as a guide rather than absolute. If you take that approach and only use what you are happy to integrate rather than any suggestion, it usually works quite well.Really?

Congrats! Is this for London?Eversheds vi any tips for the strengths based interview would be appreciated!!! really stressed since i have never passed a vi before
regional!Congrats! Is this for London?
Thank goodness for that.I don’t think a firm would pick up on the use of Grammarly though.
Very difficult to say, because different firms assess candidates on different criteria. Slaughter and May may be very competitive if you do not have a first, while Kirkland might be very competitive if you do not have substantial PE/M&A related work experience. Chambers published an article on law firm application statistics a few years back (which you can access here), but I am not sure how representative that still is. To the extent it is still illustrative, it seems like US firms with small trainee intakes who are nonetheless active on the recruitment front have the highest applicant/offer ratios. However, I think the most common 1st choice firms for the really successful candidates I have spoken with tend to be the larger (and more full service) US firms like Latham or Skadden.Who are the remaining 2? just to have an idea
I don’t know enough about AI to be 100% certain on this.Thank goodness for that.
After the application, the test and VI are part of the same stageWas this after the test?
