I just got the rejection email from DLA Phillips Fox. Two down, many to go.

Much worse. Now I've been lulled into a false sense of security.

Freehills must have very specific criteria if they can cull that quickly. No word from Corrs yet.

Rejection 1: Freehills. Hard not to let it sting a little. And some request from PwC to do an online test.

1. Competition Firms say they get up to 1000 applicants. Freehills take the most: 50-60 clerks Mallesons 30-40 Allens 40 Other big firms (BD, Clayton Utz): in the 30s Mid tier firms (HDY, G+T): 10-15 That's around 300-400 spots for the commercial firms and however many more for the government...

Most Sydney firms have an eligibility requirement for you to tick at the end that says you must have at least 2, but no more than 4 semesters left.

I think I'll be applying to as many places as possible, providing I can muster up enough strength to write yet another 'I'm the person you're looking for' cover letter. Does anyone have any advice before we all dive in?
