    I’ve been offered a TC!

    Hey I'm sorry for the delayed response, I've been away! Ah, I always feel so nervous, like so-nervous-I-could-be-sick nervous for interviews. The graduate recruitment lady actually said to me in the interview "You seem really confident and unflappable", I told her I'd felt sick all day haha...

    I’ve been offered a TC!

    Hi Jai Thank you so much :) Of course. So I had 10 rejections. I'd got to various stages, online tests, video interviews, but I wasn't invited to any ACs/interviews. Perhaps slightly cocky of me, but I was sure that if I could get an AC/interview, I could impress face-to-face more than on...

    Perseverance or stupidity?

    Hey I have this thought too - it's been my first round of really applying. I also have lots of friends who are qualified lawyers and it's sometimes really difficult to be around them because I'm really struggling to even get a TC interview. I think if its your first round of applications...

    TC application or Vac scheme?

    Hi I had a little scan and couldn't see one, so hoping nobody has asked this before! I'd like to hear opinions on direct TC applications vs vac scheme applications. I graduated in 2015, did the Teach First programme, paralegal'd for 6 months and have worked at a litigation funder ever since...
