I'm going to write a fuller post because I think there's a lot that has to be said about the TC process that isn't really discussed on this forum (and I have been using it for years - I mean check my username, I've been here since 2021) but especially when it comes to International Students and people without connections, or people in the UK, or lawyers in the family. I got that phone call after taking so many risks and taking so many crazy (and expensive!) leaps of faith, like: (1) moving to the UK in the first place for uni and staying lmao what was I thinking?! (2) self-funding the PGDL (3) taking months away to get a break after finishing the PGDL (4) not working as a paralegal before, but doing other jobs I thought I'd also enjoy while applying to TCs. I also think that there's not a lot of great interview prep out there, but I think I cracked it and would like to share my thoughts on what makes a 'good' interview beyond 'being yourself'! But I'll start with this: I am non-law, self-funded the PGDL, finished last year, and now at 25 I can say... I'M GOING TO BE A LAWYER AT AN ASTONINSHINGLY IMPRESSIVE US FIRM!!!!!! I AM WEEPING JOY!!!!
