    Your thoughts required (again!)

    Another note, if the rewards will be based off the current rating system, what do you think about including an extra layer to the ‘disagree’ and ‘unhelpful’ reactions? I know in the past I’ve accidentally clicked ‘disagree’ without realising, affecting someone’s rating for a brief second. It...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    My only advice is that there is no set path when it comes to TCs. I know it would have been nice to have finished your GDL with a TC lined up and the LPC in between, but things don’t always go according to plan! However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going in the wrong direction. I’m a...

    Just to add, I think rewards for TC holders and current trainees that take advantage of TCLA’s resources would be useful too. It could be access to specific courses like ‘managing your Training Contract’ or perhaps a call with Jess or Jaysen for those coming to the end of their TC and looking...

    From my understanding, Bristows don’t do Vacation Schemes. They run the workshops in their place.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, Should I include work experience from five years ago during my gap year? I worked as a delivery driver for a local takeaway for 9 months. I had initially left it out because I’ve had more relevant experience since then, and it was quite a while ago. However, after reading the past...

    Difference between Business Consultant and Commercial Solicitor

    Bit of a vague question here, but one I’m asking to develop my understanding! As the title sums up; what are the main differences between the work a business consultant does and commercial solicitor? If I were to explain it, I’d say that a consultant creates a solution for a business to...

    Thank you for sharing this, though I am very sorry to hear it! Resilience is half the battle with applications. Was this at application stage? Perhaps you could ask someone to review it and see where you could improve. With any rejection I get I try to come back to it and read it with a fresh...

    Thanks Jessica, I agree. I’m avoiding what’s been mentioned elsewhere and treating it as a box for things I could mention that haven’t already been included!

    Application Help - Trowers

    Hi all, I'm getting myself knotted up over Trowers' last question: "Give us as wide an insight into you as possible without referring to anything you have already mentioned in this application" Do you think this means without repeating myself (i.e. if already mentioned a particular...
