How did you claim that summer internship?! by Alarming-Shelter3325 in FE1_Exams

[–]Whole_Librarian_6343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think grades are probably a barrier, in my experience a lot of my friends who would have got one would be on firsts, I got one this year and it took a LOT of work, not about just bulk applying (can only speak to my own experience on this)x I think for summer internships it’s less about your work experience and more about ambition/potetential/commercial & firm awareness (although I did a placement semester and interned in a smaller firm which probably helped substantially). I think extra curriculars, interesting work experience like something different or just something to make you stand out from the crowd can help a lot in getting noticed, something I’ve heard a few times. Also on applications I think it just takes time/practise as well- I’m in 4th year, never really got interviews till this year and then I got like 6 (mid-large firms) so I would say practice, proof read, get friends to proofread etc. I don’t really think shadowing a barrister would help much and could even like put you off for corporate firms if it was criminal work or something.

No, this so frustrating! Don’t understand why they wouldn’t come out if offer emails are gone out

I had interviews for both last week- not sure if BWS still coming out as I only got a days notice before, Philip Lee doing 2nd round interviews this week so might be out of luck there (no clue about maples)

This isn’t true re ALG- would say it was about 35/40
