Thanks, the 90s sounds like the best decade to have been looking for a training contract! :')

Definitely applying again, I went to a careers event and one first year trainee said they applied to the firm for 8 years before they got in! It's just tough to keep applying but we'll get there!

That was a time of hand written applications that you sent in the post to firms. It wasn’t all fun and games 😂

Probably a really stupid question but in a virtual AC is a shirt and tie ok or is a suit a must?
Shirt and tie will be fine. You can always leave your jacket on the back of the chair or nearby if you think it is needed (e.g. if all the firm representatives are all suited and booted - which is unlikely).

    how did you manage this!
    They withdrew my application because they said the scheme was primarily targeted towards undergraduates! I uno-reverse carded them and justified that I could fill those two years with internships while working towards starting a training contract with them in 2023! I was actually inspired by everyone's actions on TCLA who also did the same! Thank you everyone!!
