If you prefer to send it yourself, you can do that. If we submit the resume, we will publish your unique code that only you are aware of, in the LRF website. The advantage of applying with us is that you will only have to send one application and we will forward it to all employers you have chosen (unless the respective employer has a very specific requirement that you have to apply on their website). 

How is my data handled?

The data you give to us usually includes the data that is contained in your resume. Only if you decide to submit a resume through us and grant us explicit permission to send your resume to the participating law firm or organization will we send your data to the participating employer. You have the option to send the resume yourself.

How many employers can I apply to?

There is no limit to the number of employers to which a candidate can apply.

Please ensure that you upload your CV as a word (.doc or .docx) file or a PDF.  Also please make sure that it is named in the mentioned format (name_resume.doc). Please watch our video on Resume

Am I guaranteed an interview spot?

No, it entirely depends on the employer. Law Pundits have no control over it.

I took my first degree in Law from a lesser-known university or law school, would that limit my chances for an interview?

Not necessarily, if your career background matches that of what an employer is looking for, it would not matter.

I still have more questions and would like to learn the process in detail. What should I do?
