Applications and CVs - yours required for new TCLA content

[Jessica Booker]

I will be redeveloping some of the TCLA content regarding applications and recruitment processes.

For this, I’d like to use example sections of applications or CVs to show the good, bad and indifferent. It would be far more efficient for me to utilise small parts of people’s application forms and CVs they have already written rather than me write fake documents. I am therefore wondering if anyone would be happy to submit their old applications to me to use? Please note that I would make things anonymous (eg either redacting information out or changing names) and only sections would be used rather than being able to see a whole application.

For those who do volunteer applications and are selected (I don’t know how many I will get nor their suitability, so it’s difficult for me to know whether I will be able to use them until I see them), I will be offering one of the services completely free:

1) one full application review

Or

2) one mock interview over Zoom

If anyone from the forums has already secured a TC and still wants to get involved, I am happy for you to transfer your “reward” to another TCLA member.

I’ll need both good and bad applications for this to work! So if you still have an application from a while back that you know isn’t particularly good in hindsight, those will be particularly useful for me.

If you are interested, please just reply here and I will come back to you in the next couple of weeks via PM to discuss further.

Hey Jessica,

I have 10 apps this year that passed the sift this cycle. I'm willing to send them all over to use in whatever way you see fit. There may well be sections you consider poor, so feel free to highlight that too! If used, no 'reward' required. Just ensure someone else gets the benefit of it.

Let me know if I can assist.

Hi Jess, would be happy to send some applications (both successful and unsuccessful) as well as my CV.

HI Jessica,

I had a couple 'bad' applications where I was immediately rejected from last cycle. But I also had some better applications which allowed me to get to the interview stage. I was able to secure a few vacation scheme offers last year but wasn't able to convert it into a TC. I'm going through the application cycle again this year but I'm happy to share my applications.

Also have a number of successful applications I can send over Jess if it would be helpful for you?

 

[Camilla]

I am willing to volunteer successful and unsuccessful apps and also my CV if needed. I recently revamped my CV so you can have the previous version and the new version

 

[Phoebe]

I would also be willing to send both successful and unsuccessful apps and my CV

 

[jan28]

Also happy to send both successful and unsuccessful applications + cv over

 

[frow3n]

I’d be happy to send applications that have resulted in interviews and ones that have been unsuccessful!

 

[Mo M]

Hi Jess

I would be happy to help out!

Just to confirm the selected apps would be the ones that have made it through the app screening and not necessarily resulted in a TC? I have a few of those.

the selected apps would be ones I use in the TCLA content - this could be both successful or unsuccessful applications to law firms, whether for TCs or VS.

 

[Zoo]

I have a number of successful and unsuccessful applications that I am happy to send over.

Very happy for the reward to be transferred to someone else too!

 

[LegalNim]

Hi Jessica,
I have various Apply4Law applications, a FF personal statement and a CV/Cover Letter application that I'm happy to submit.
Let me know if that would help.

 

[H.N.]

I've got a handful of applications I'd be happy to hand over! Plus my CV too

 

[Zaynob]

Hi Jessica

I have a couple of 'bad and 'good' vacation scheme applications for 2018 and 2019. I am also willing to share my CV.

hello Jessica I have both good and bad apps

 

[iamJW]

Hey Jessica, this sounds very useful!

I have plenty of (mostly unsuccessful) applications since I started my law firm application journey 3 years ago!I would be more than happy for you to use them! I can share my CV too, if that is necessary.

Let me know if that would be useful for you, thanks

Hi Jessica,
Will be happy to send over my applications from the last cycle and my cv as well

 

[Sam55]

Hi Jessica, I would be happy to send over some applications!

 

[Adam Gilchrist]

Hi Jessica! Very happy to send you a couple of my applications, and also my CV if that is of any usage to you. I obviously don't need the free application review/mock interview, so am very happy for it to be passed onto someone else. Thank you for doing this!
