Inside a Real Application: What a Recruiter Sees

Jun 26, 2026

12:00-13:00

It's one thing to be told your application needs work. It's another to see exactly why. Join us for a session with Mark Dubes, a former legal graduate recruiter with over 20 years' experience who has interviewed more than 10,000 candidates, including at Mayer Brown. Mark will take a real, anonymised application and break it down live section by section explaining precisely what works and what doesn’t. This session will show you how a recruiter actually reads an application, the specific signals that create a strong or weak impression within seconds, and what changes would have made the difference between rejection and progression.
