I'm currently applying for an MoJ role...

    So sorry to hear you've been so unwell! I would definitely email Grad Rec and let them know about the situation - personally, I'd just say you wanted to let them know about mitigating circumstances and explain the severity of your illness - hopefully they can offer a solution or at the very...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Sorry to ask a boring and slightly annoying question in the middle of a fun chat about hobbies, but... I've been given a form to fill in ahead of a mini vac scheme, which includes a section "About yourself (This will be shared with the team that you will be joining)". I'm probably way...

    After some advice please! I'm doing the training to be a Gateway Assessor with Citizens Advice, but haven't started volunteering properly yet. I'm just finishing up a TC app and want to be able to slip in somewhere the fact that I'm doing this (particularly as I'm a career changer and all my...

    TLT's Direct TC AC has become a vacation scheme...? Anyone else in this boat?

    Hey @astra3127 - I'm in exactly the same boat as you with this one, also totally perplexed when I heard back after the AC. Have you heard anything from them since that initial call? I'm wondering if the dates have been confirmed or if there's any more info at all..!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I'm hoping for some advice about an AC presentation I have coming up. The firm has given a totally free reign on topic choice other than it should be of interest to me, and it "does not have to be a legal topic, however it must link to legal implications or the legal sector". I have four years'...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Do people think there is any point applying to Forsters for their VS this year? I applied for direct TC last year, and they've still got recruitment on hold, but in their last email they said we're welcome to apply for the VS this year anyway. The application form is identical to the one I did...
