[QUOTE="anonymous_assessment, post: 215835, member: 41819"] Hey, I thought I'd pitch in with some advice on this. As you're somewhat restricted to applying to the top international law firms, the competition will also be a lot greater. For the firms you have mentioned, they will receive thousands of applications, and so you will really need to stand out. I think firstly that means applying to fewer firms but with a greater amount of time spent on research. Maybe around 15 firms. Start an application draft early as possible in the cycle for those firms, prioritising those firms that have earlier deadlines. This will allow you to do more research, and also add to your application after attending events with those firms. I think attending events is really important, because those larger firms definitely run a lot of events and will expect serious applicants to have taken the time to go to a few of those. An example might be the upcoming Bright Network FESTIVAL event. Then speaking to representatives from those law firms you can show a genuine connection with the firm, and proper motivation to join. This can also be helped by attending more than one event, explaining how going to one event/webinar/etc then drove you to attend the next. [/QUOTE]
