Here is another good video with Lynn Johansen, the Graduate Recruitment Partner at Clifford Chance.

In it she reveals plenty about the graduate recruitment process and requirements that are relevant and not only to Magic Circle applicants. In particular she talks about the skill sets they are looking for, how being good with people is important and how its vitally important that applicants do not view a training contract as a two year extension of their student training but the beginning of their professional life.
