Useful Links – Week of 28th June

However with lots of resources out there for those seeking help with personal statements for study or work, we try and collate some useful links or highlight resources that may be useful. If you find something that you think we might be interested in – please let us know.
Applying for a job in law?
Law Careers have a very useful calendar of training contracts and closing dates for these. A number close of the 30th of June, so you have likely left it too late for these. However our team have lots of experience supporting candidates with their applications for their first job in law, or even early stage lawyers who want to make a move to their next role.
Considering a scholarship?
If you are considering applying for a scholarship, QS Top Universities have a downloadable guide to a large number of scholarships.
