Standing out in a competitive field

Curious what it actually takes to secure a training contract directly from someone who has assessed thousands of candidates? Join us for an honest conversation with Mark, a former legal graduate recruiter who interviewed over 10,000 candidates throughout his career, including at Mayer Brown, and brings first-hand insight into how training contract decisions are really made. This session offers a behind-the-scenes look at how decisions are really made and what separates candidates who get offers from those who don’t. We’ll cover what firms are really looking for, how recruiters assess candidates beyond academics, and what strong applicants do differently at each stage of the process. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your questions and get direct insight from someone who has sat on the other side of the process.
