    Keep the faith! You've done great to get this far, and they're probably still calling.

    Would anyone have any tips on applications in general/what to include in a cover letter to some smaller firms?

    I have 7 FE1's passed and sat my last in the recent sitting, a high 2:1 undergrad, decent LC results, and some work experience working as a legal assistant but still no luck thus far in any of the milkrounds with some of the bigger firms. I thought my applications were decent, considering the little information some of them allow you to provide.

    Really contemplating sending out cover letters/CV's to some local firms and offering to work for free in the hope they might take me on as a trainee for the 2021 intake...

    They told me at the end I would hear really soon, but they didn't give a specific time frame!

    They said they have an agreement with other the law firms to send out offers on the 27th, in order to make it easier for applicants. I don't know if that means if we do or do not get a call soon to simply inform us that we were successful.

    Does anyone have experience of this? Are people informed they were successful before they get an offer?

    If that's the case then based on the timeline of previous years, they'll call people for offers on Friday the 27th. PFOs the week after.

    This would be interesting if anyone has an educated guess - how many second round interviewees and how many potential offers?

    I heard somewhere that the big firms get around 1000-1500 applications a year. Might be wrong.

    Arthur Cox invited less than 15 percent of applicants to the group interview this time.

    However, the graduate recruiter did say that technically, every person doing a group interview could be invited for the individual interview, if the interviewers are impressed by everyone. Obviously, there are going to be people who aren't successful at the group stage, but ascertaining the exact figure there isn't easy.

    Also, there are people interviewing for traineeships beginning multiple years from now, so you may be competing with less people than you think.

    40-50 in each intake and not everyone who did the group interview got an individual one is what I was told

    Let's say 120 for the group interview, cut that in half for the individuals. So 60 people competing for 40 places? Not bad odds

    They take 40-50 for each year of intake though right? So 40-50 for each one of 2022, 23, 24 and so on.

    Yes but 2022 is probably already full and anything past 2024 is probably too far away to recruit.

    When did the people interviewing on Monday get invited to interview? I was told the individual interviews were yesterday and today when I was invited on Monday.
