Application process

Online application form and cover letter

What happens

This sets out your academics, work experience and outside interests. The cover letter is your opportunity to tell the firm why you are interested in a legal career, specifically at Jones Day. The firm has integrated Rare's contextual recruitment system into their recruitment process to better understand an applicant’s potential in the context in which their experiences have been gained. There is also an opportunity to tell them any mitigating circumstances.

Online interview

What happens

If successful following an academic reference, the firm will invite you for an online interview with two senior lawyers.

Assessing

This is an opportunity for you to express your genuine interest in a legal career, why you believe Jones Day is the Firm for you and more generally your interests and motivations. Jones Day interviewers are keen to hear all about you.

How to prepare

You will also have the opportunity to have a chat with a trainee beforehand.

Assessment centre

What happens

If you pass the interview stage, you will be invited to attend an Assessment Centre at our London office. Your suitability for a Vacation Scheme position will be assessed through a group exercise and a one-to-one discussion with senior lawyers. Light refreshments, lunch and the opportunity to meet our current trainees will also be available.
