Dear All Trainees,

The BSQ mailroom has received an Amazon package today addressed simply to Allen & Overy. It contains two paperback books

1. The Interview Book: Your Definitive Guide to the Perfect Interview Technique
2: Brilliant Cover Letters: What you need to know to write a truly brilliant cover letter

I would be grateful if you could check to see if this belongs to anyone within your teams

Regards

On the assumption that no-one is going to put their hand up, how about this for an idea. We'll ask A&O to send the package to RoF Towers, then forward it to the recipient if they send their details over. Anonymity guaranteed. Click here to write in.
