Not really a VS application update: I’ve applied to a few grad jobs and I’m currently progressing with one for a compliance grad as I’ve been invited to do a VI! Although still early days I’m super happy to have made it this far! Praying I do well enough to get to final interview otherwise I...- Legalstalker

Yeah they don’t acknowledge you if you’re unsuccessful… pretty trash to say the least. People put time and effort into applying and you can’t be bothered to give them closure😭- Legalstalker

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
I don’t think they’re rolling, last year they sent an automatic test to complete which was an SJT and VI. Once the deadline has passed they review - reject or invite to AC.- Legalstalker

Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey
That’s amazing! Congrats on the progression from the other companies you’ve applied to. I’ve done a mini pupillage before, they’re super hard to get but the application process is much simpler than the vac scheme one in my opinion. Most ask for a CV to be sent to their email or a short...- Legalstalker

It’s their loss!! I don’t just say that either! I do believe the first firm I did a vac scheme at it was their loss of having a great diverse candidate as myself and not a boring 2nd year student they could mould 🤣🤣 We will definitely get that lucky phone call this year for sure!! Knowing your...- Legalstalker

Update: Slaughter and May TC Rejection… I’m shocked but not surprised although I’m annoyed as I put way too much effort in my cover letter to be rejected mid day on a Monday. Maybe the cover letter was good but my grades weren’t who knows but does suck as I thought I would secure an interview…...- Legalstalker

My Final Law Results have come in and I urgently need direction on what to do now to have a successful career in law despite a 2:2.
Hey, Sorry to hear the situation you’re in and whilst I have no clue what firms you can apply to I’ll give you I think you should definitely check you’ve got a 2:2 Although first year “doesn’t count” at many universities some do take it into consideration. Has your university 100% confirmed...- Legalstalker
