    I don't know, I see both sides of the argument - I have had numerous messages asking for support and answers and I have answered each one honestly and to the best of my knowledge - I have gained a lot of help from this platform and feel I should pass along that help. I don't see my fellow forum...

    I’m sorry this happened - but you shouldn’t give up or be too hard on yourself. It’s difficult to even get to this step so be proud of that. Sometimes it just comes down to luck more than anything else. Do they give any feedback on what you can work on or improve?

    Did you go to the discovery day? I imagine they potentially are fast tracking those who went to the discovery day as those candidates have been shortlisted already and have been met and had exposure to the firm. That would at least be my thoughts

    Over 30 also - got an AC - I wouldn't;t give up, having built a career external to law, and spoken with lawyers it is never to late - also making partner doesn't mean you have to get into law before 30, some never make partner - everyone's path is different

    Ahhh but did you find the lost sword of king Arthur sir? Did you fight the nemean lion sir? Did you find the needle in the haystack? In all seriousness sometimes it comes down to luck I am realising - I imagine you also have fantastic work experience. Sometimes they are ticking boxes and...

    Same - PFO without submitting an application. I think it's automatic if you don't complete the app. I started but because of the open day apps I got app fatigue. Plus I only really want 1 firm 🤷‍♂️

    Sending out positive thoughts to everyone and their applications. Still awaiting to hear if I will get the AC for DLA - praying and fingers crossed, hoping and sending out good energy preparing as though I have gotten the AC. This is the dream firm for me.

    Just saw that DLA summer internship for london is now closed, I think the AC is starting in approximately two weeks. Having passed the benchmark for VI but not heard about the AC should I be worried or continue as I am (practising as though I will get the AC)? I believe they may send to...

    Applied on the website - no tips I'm afraid I think it's just luck and a blessing. I'm a career Changer so the field (paralegal field not law) relates to what I'm currently doing. Sorry I can't provide advice, during the telephone interview stage (last step I did) I think i was able to...
