In short, because we've invested hundreds (if not thousands) of hours in creating them.
Our database includes CVs, cover letters, work experience sections, career and firm motivation answers, competency and scenario-based examples, and discussions of current affairs and commercial challenges.
Jake Schogger has provided detailed written feedback for 21 different types of answers, covering why each is strong and what could still be improved.
Each insight is meticulously and consistently formatted, to ensure a consistent structure and approach.
Each contributor is required to objectively verify that their application was successful.
We highlight which recruitment cycle each application is from, and the designated word limit for each question.
Where possible, we also include information about online tests that form part of the initial assessment.
We are constantly adding new firms to the database, as well as more recent applications for existing firms, all of which will be available to subscribers.
