hi everyone! for the eversheds TC application, does anyone know if it is recommended that we use all 500 words in answering the strength questions? or would 300 words be better?

wondering this too !! ^^ @Jessica Booker would really appreciate any advice

any idea when BCLP will get back to the direct TC applicants?

I think end of July or August

 

[Jessica Booker]

Did anyone else just get the BCLP holding email for TC stating we would hear back by mid March? 🤣 I think they forgot to update their automated message as it weirdly stated 'thank you for applying to our Summer Vacation Scheme' lol That doesn't fill me with much confidence 🤣

It’s pretty easy to do something like this in all honesty. It’s not ideal, but application systems can easily chuck out these emails with a click of a button.

Hi, they give you a list of dates (up to 2 weeks) that you can book though there were only 4 time slots left when I booked mine.

Is it advisable for women to still wear a jacket to an AC, even in this weather?

I don’t think this is necessary if you wear a answer blouse or dress

Do law firms reimburse incoming trainees who've self funded SQE like they did with LPC? Are there some firms that dont? I find it difficult to find information on SQE for each firm.
