How does it work with 5 people in a group? Is it a hunger games type thing where you needs to prove yourself?
I think my wording was off; I didn't manage to progress past prelims last time. I really don't know how the 5-people-per-group format is going to work, but let's see!How does it work with 5 people in a group? Is it a hunger games type thing where you needs to prove yourself?
Has anyone else heard back from AO&S? I'm expecting a PFO atp
I'm so sorry
I'm also waiting and expecting a PFO as I applied to winter (with summer backup) early september. Was yours for winter or spring?
Hi @Minhee two long questions sorry !
For a 200-word “Why Me?” section in a cover letter/application, would you recommend using three distinct experiences, each demonstrating a different skill, or is it equally effective to discuss two key skills developed through one experience and then show how those same skills were further developed through a second experience, before using a third experience to demonstrate a different skill? I am leaning towards the second approach because my Commercial Awareness Society experience and corporate consulting experience developed similar skills and, together, I think they provide stronger evidence of the commercial qualities law firms look for. If I used three completely separate experiences, I would probably need to replace the consulting example with a volunteering experience, which I feel is less commercially relevant. Which approach would you recommend?
For cover letters, is it acceptable to adjust the font and font size slightly to fit more content on the page? For example, instead of using Times New Roman 12, could I use a different professional font that appears smaller, or would you recommend sticking to a more standard font and size even if that means including fewer words?
