    Thanks. I just wanted to ask SM if I can apply again because I have improved a lot since the interview, and I wanted to use the fact that they are considering my work for the main prize as evidence of that.

    Hi guys, I'm facing a fairly difficult question. The thing is that I had an interview at Slaughters for direct TC in August and screwed up so badly (specially the article part). During the interview, I wasn't really myself due to the fact I had to sleep on the floor at my friends' flat because I...

    I wonder if there will be any point in applying in to firms that have TC deadlines in July and are recruiting on the rolling basis. I don't want to submit rushed applications, but I just don't have time now :/ (especially for Macfarlanes who's application form is basically a summative essay.)

    To make things worse, I applied (this time willingly) for a CC training contract and got an email saying that because I had passed the WG already, I didn't have to do it again.
