    Thank you so much for your long answer, I was about to say the same thing so I am hoping this will help @A worried final year. I think it is difficult to say which firms you have a realistic chance at getting an assessment centre with because many people have different experiences with different...

    Hey @ikeRoss, Thank you so much for sharing this. I think the choice is quite personal and it really depends on a number of different factors and I would not want to give you my opinion without knowing all the things that might be important to you. I usually am all for following your dream...

    I am so sorry for this, I can imagine this not being the outcome you were hoping for but I am sure that if you ask for feedback, you will be able to understand the reason for the rejection as well as how to improve from now on, which is the whole point of a rejection anyway. I am sure that you...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    It might be a mix of the two things, I am imagining that more people are applying, or it does feel this way anyway, but at the same time it highlights the reason why they are taking a long time to go through all the applications and struggling to make decisions as to who to give offers to or not.

    Hey @midnightsky990422, I totally understand your feelings as it is so natural to feel this way after an interview. However, you should always bear in mind that this is normal and many, me included, feel this way after an interview. This does not in the slightest reflect how your interviewers...

    I would wait until next week as they might be really busy and with the holidays coming up they might not be as responsive. Send an email after the 8th of April if you do not hear anything before then.

    I personally would highlight how grateful you are for the vacation scheme offer, however you need them to consider pushing you to another date. Law firms are used to these kinds of request so I would not worry about it, it is standard practice for many to ask. The law firm might say yes or...

    A student in need of direction.

    I guess you need to decide whether you really want to move to London or you would be fine staying in your area. For other kinds of jobs, I think that LinkedIn is a good place to start and any kind of job will be useful for your law firm applications! Even working in a charity or in a shop will...

    Hey @A worried final year, Thanks for sharing your experience and your concerns as I recognise it is not an easy thing to do. It is a very daunting thing so I applaud you for doing that. I can totally resonate with your circumstances as I was not wiling to self-fund my legal education too. I...

    I agree with Jessica here, I think this depends on each individual's personal circumstances. If you have the money and you do not want to wait to get a training contract do sit the test, then you can do ahead and self-fund it yourself. I would say that the only benefit I see is that you do not...
