I was running with a solicitor yesterday. He works for a big city firm and we have very little in common so we chatted about our DC who are similar ages and all starting to think about career choices.
He was saying that in his firm he is the only one who didn't go to public school, everyone knows this and he is singled out for it. e.g. when greeting "future lawyers" he will be allocated the state school kids.
Anyway he reckons his boss shortlists by first looking at the applicant's name (the MN High Court Judge test) and then is only interested in the school and college the candidate went to.
Please tell me this is a rare throwback and this kind of practice isn't common place? (or my sink comp DC are doomed)
