Hi Team,

Hope you're well.

Can someone please remind me of how I can go about getting my application reviewed by the TCLA team?
The deadline is on Monday. Do you think I will be able to get someone to quickly have a review of my answers?
I understand that it is last minute to ask for this favour.

Kind regards,

Sarah

    Hey Sarah - as you’re one of our scholarship candidates, you can just email this to [email protected]. I’ll aim to have this back to you by tomorrow evening!

    Hi all,

    May I ask on an application under work experience do you think it is appropriate to name drop a future trainee if I have previously worked with them in a different company. For example: I worked as part of a team of 20 paralegals including [NAME OF PERSON] (now Trainee solicitor or Future Trainee Solicitor at FIRM) ? Or is this not necessary? I ask this because I worked closely with her and also learned more about the firm.

    As I said in PM, not appropriate for a work experience section but you could address the fact you learnt more about the firm from a future trainee in your motivational answers. Even then you don’t have to name drop them though - up to you if you do though.

    Thank you Jess, that's a good point!
