What kind of things would you need to do on the internship to stand out from the older and more experienced interns, or would the chances be low due to age and lack of experience?

There's no mention of how the documents were sent, which is the reason why I mentioned the post because someone queried as to whether we'd get them via email or post.

Candidates are completely left in the dark with regards to remuneration, etc. It's a bit frustrating as there seems to be such a wide disparity in compensation and no way to really know what you're getting yourself into. We would all be better off if people were open about these things! UK firms are completely open about this.

LawBoy2018 wrote: » But from a pragmatic perspective, how could a firm know how much you'll be worth to them as an employee in 3 years time? What will the market be like? How many clients will you bring in? Will you work 60+ hours/week? Will you sacrifice your social life/spend less time with friends/family to put in extra hours? Will you get a master's/further specialise? What sort of reputation will you have? You get picture. Apologies if I've come across as narky! Not my intention at all.
