Wondering if anybody has already applied to Bakers/or if they know if you get the watson glaser right after you submit the app or after the deadline?
I don’t think the WG is automatic! At least it wasn’t the case when I applied to the VS this year!Wondering if anybody has already applied to Bakers/or if they know if you get the watson glaser right after you submit the app or after the deadline?
If you still have access to it, I would suggest your university's careers website (or target connect for RS). I found my part-time paralegal role there that I've been doing alongside my law degree. I remember feeling very defeated last year when I didn't secure any vac schemes and I only started to receive interview invites this year (I have not secured a VS or TC!). Don't loose hope, it only takes one "yes" and everything that you've been doing this far will have led you there. Best of luck with everything!!!Feeling rather dejected at the moment. I have been applying for training contracts/Vac Schemes for a few years now, and never got so much as an interview. Got a first from a Russell Group, Distinction in GDL, yet still not hearing a peep. I've been trying to apply for Paralegal jobs, but they all require experience, and many require the LPC too! I'm volunteering at a law centre, but I am starting to feel as if this is some sort of elite club that I am simply not invited to. I shall persist. I guess what I want to ask is how does one go about getting paralegal/legal experience? If every role seemingly requires experience, how does one get that requisite experience in the first place?
Hi I did! How did you find it?anyone completed the VI for DACB?
In previous years they didn't get back back until mid/late MayHi All, does anyone know how long it takes for DACB to get back after a VI?
Lawcareers.net usually has a more comprehensive list:Does anyone know of any firms in London which still have TC applications open, which are not on legal cheek? Like less well known ones.
thanks!Lawcareers.net usually has a more comprehensive list:

Hi, I applied when their tc cycle opened, it took a while! I received the SJT in December!Has anyone heard back from BCLP direct TC (post-app)? Haven't received the link for their sjt test since I applied last week...should i email the grad team or just wait?
oh wow, thank you!Hi, I applied when their tc cycle opened, it took a while! I received the SJT in December!
Last year it was end of may (I got a pfo) if successful I’m assuming they heard back beforehandHi All, does anyone know how long it takes for DACB to get back after a VI?
Never did a vac scheme- the things that help demonstrate your motivations without doing one is top-notch research, initiatives to interact with the firm and a solid understanding of how law firms work, what commercial lawyers do and the legal tools/techniques they regularly employ to serve their clients.wondering if anybody here is applying for direct tc without having done a vac scheme/a vac scheme lined up for the summer? is there anything you do differently to demonstrate your career commitment/interest in commercial law? bc I'm wondering if it is worth it to send direct tc apps at all (other than a couple of firms that don't do vac schemes and take only direct tcs)
No clue but when I booked my AC the latest date was 10th March. They could have added additional dates though.Hi! Do you think that Freshfields is still giving out WG invites?
I got a WG last week and the deadline to complete it was the 8th March. I doubt they would have done this unless there were still AC dates going on in later March.Hi! Do you think that Freshfields is still giving out WG invites?
