    Wholeheartedly agree with your point. Just as an extension to this, this process does sometimes feel unfair. Everyone works bloody hard and is very deserving of all the chances they get, however when we constantly see law firms pitching about encouraging more diverse backgrounds and how diverse...

    Your post reminded me of a famous Denzel Washington quote - “To achieve something you have never achieved, you must do something you have never done before” I also like the idea of a group for direct tc apps. Would be great to exchange ideas and lend a supporting hand to each other in this...

    Spontaneous TC Journey

    Keep going. I’m a graduate too and in my second cycle with the added pressure of being an international student. Have applied to a total of 25 law firms for VS and TC. Been rejected from 22. Waiting on W&C, HL and Travers (funny thing is they dumped me for the winter scheme but I still went...

    Love your attitude. It's always nice to come back after a short break. I'm sure you'll soon get there. If I may ask, for W&C are you waiting to hear back post app or post VI and is this for the spring or summer scheme?

    Reed smith PFO. What did u guys make of the VI feedback. I personally found it very confusing. For the ‘what unique qualities would u bring to the role?’ question, they told me to mention the unique qualities and not what I’m good at. Yet if I had just mentioned my unique qualities without any...

    TCLA ran a session on how to pass video interviews with Charlotte Lear from Reed Smith and she said that the feedback report has no bearing on the overall outcome of the application. The report’s more a reflection of a candidate’s strengths and nothing else. Besides, if they were to select based...

    l’ll say assumption not made. Taking the statement to be true, there’s nothing in the proposed assumption which talks about the purpose of having professional development programmes i.e why should they exist? Professional support can be offered in many different ways. I could be totally wrong...

    Just finished with my HL direct TC app. I just found out they don’t have a chambers student page and in the ‘which resource did you find most helpful when researching us’ question I put in chambers student. I’m now worried if this could be a cause for them to bin my application? @Jessica Booker...

    I know many international students who’ve secured TCs, some who studied here and some who completed their undergrad abroad. I even know a few people who applied from abroad and got an offer. Don’t really think sponsorship is too big of an issue for firms in London or even in cities like Bristol...
