Tips for your application
Your application is an important document. It forms our first
impression of who you are and plays a key role in the decision to interview you.
With that in mind, we have provided a few tips on the application process.
Application cover letter
The purpose of the cover letter is to tell us a bit about you and why you
want to work at Allens Arthur Robinson. We look for cover letters which are well written and
concise - usually no more than a page is sufficient.
Some tips when preparing your cover letter:
- Before submitting your application, double check the name and title of
the person to whom you have addressed your application. Also check that you
have not accidentally included the name of another law firm!
- You may wish to highlight certain parts of your application. This may be
useful, for example, if you have failed a subject for valid personal reasons
or if you deferred study for a period of time.
- Check your letter meticulously before submitting it. Spelling and
grammatical errors create a poor first impression.
CV
Your CV should be set out clearly and concisely. Keep the format simple and
use headings and bullet points. Your CV should typically include:
- personal details;
- secondary education including final year school results;
- tertiary education including degree(s) held or currently being
undertaken and tertiary institution details;
- work experience (legal and non-legal) including voluntary work;
- details of employment including position details, skills obtained and
approximate number of hours worked per week;
- extra-curricular activities including interests and hobbies; and
- any language abilities.
Again, check your CV meticulously before submitting it.
