    a confused law student's TC journey :)

    writing an update on this! I think I've decided not to do my vac scheme as it just doesn't fit well in my life right now. Also, the vac scheme is in a regional office, and I have now moved to London and realised I would much prefer to have my career here. I will continue applying for vac schemes...

There are only supposed to be 5 questions but I have answered the same question 8 times as there is no option to complete the interview. I just logged out and logged back in and it...

    Is it okay for me to have the same answer to an application question as last year? The question is 'what is your most ambitious achievement?' I was and am really happy with my answer from last year, and can't think of anything better than that. The answer got me through to the vac scheme so I...

    Is it okay to reuse parts of my application for a VS last year? Or will firms not like this? It is difficult to come up with something new when the application questions are the same as last year

    a confused law student's TC journey :)

    Thank you so much for this! Yes it has been EXTREMELY difficult to find a paralegal role so far. Genuinely think it is more difficult than getting a Vac Scheme haha I have contacted many recruiters, either through their website, or individual recruiters on LinkedIn and none of them have...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I am currently working on my application to be a paralegal at a tech company. One of the questions is "why do you want to work for us?" The main reason I want to work for them is because it is a tech company and I'm really interested in tech, but I'm worried that reason isn't tailored enough to...

    a confused law student's TC journey :)

    It's been a few months since I updated here as I have been feeling very unmotivated :( I failed to secure a TC from my Vac Scheme, so since hearing about the rejection I began to rethink a legal career and felt like the rejection meant I wasn't good enough to be a lawyer. Anyway, after a lot...

    a confused law student's TC journey :)

    Thank you so much for that! I am just wondering did you have to use a lot of your commercial awareness during the scheme? If so, was this only on the tasks or did you also bring up, for example, FT articles when speaking with trainees, partners etc? I don't think my commercial knowledge is very...
