What's the biggest challenge students face when applying to clerkships? (Hint: it's not partner interviews or other students gatekeeping resources.) It's the painfully long feedback cycle. Hear me out 👇 Clerkship applications are highly streamlined and synchronised across firms. Applications are due at the same time, interview offers are made simultaneously, and hiring decisions are announced in unison. This means that if there’s an issue with your application - whether it's your resume, cover letter, or interview responses - you won’t know until AFTER you’ve repeated it across multiple firms. The result? Highly qualified candidates facing mass rejections simply because they never had the chance to refine their approach before it was too late. At GradIQ we're looking to break this cycle. Over the next month, GradIQ will be presenting at universities around Sydney to assist prospective law clerks with their application preparation (more on this soon). Got any advice for students preparing for clerkship season? Drop a comment or shoot me a DM, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
