How does one go about getting an application (or past applications) reviewed through TCLA?
I’ve submitted 30 applications in the past two years with little to no success (only gotten to online test stage twice for VS & telephone interview stage once for direct TC with Mayer Brown, and been invited to WGT twice by
Hogan Lovells, which is automatic).
Admittedly my first ~10 apps were weak/generic as I was just then learning what firms were looking for. But I have since had my applications reviewed by Rare Recruitment, BPP’s Careers Service, and multiple future & current trainee/associate friends and also attended countless firm events.
I just have no idea what I am doing wrong; whether the quality of my answers is poor or my undergrad/GDL grades are too low or my Canadian nationality requiring sponsorship is an issue or if everyone is just way better qualified or if this amount of rejection is normal?? (27/30 rejections and all 3 positive responses from the same firm?) Just need some kind of litmus to know what I am doing wrong and how to do it right... is there anyone I can message privately?
Apologies for the frustrated rant...
