Thank you JessicaSounds like two good examples to me. For the first, think about what impact your ideas had, not just the process of implementing your ideas

Thank you so much!!!!!! This is so helpful!! I'll try and keep the growth mindsetGo in with enthusiasm, give everything your best then take on board feedback offered, offer to help colleagues or the team if you have spare capacity, find your own methods for managing your day and tasks, read around the topics (PLC is a good start) if there's things you're unfamilar with. Things may be a steep learning curve, so you may only start to get the hang of things 3-6 months in
These are the same tips that would apply to someone starting a TC as well I feel
Just finished my LLB, LPC not yet!Have you done the GDL/LLB or LPC yet?

Hi Guys,
I am currently applying for a role and I am struggling with two questions.
1. Please provide details of a recent legal issue that you worked on. What was your involvement? What was the outcome? (500 words max).My plan is to talk about the work I have done on a very vague piece of legislation. Is this ok? I am confused by the term legal issue.
2.We take pride in our inclusivity and place a high value in flexible working. What impactful contribution have you made to create an inclusive working environment? (Max 300 words) My team and I worked on a very long task which lasted the whole summer, beyond managing the meetings and handling the workload, I also organised lunches to discuss about our respective backgrounds and how they impacted on our life. What do you think?
You can ask but I am not sure the answer really helps you, no matter what it is. My advice would be just focus on making the most of the vac scheme.I’ve just received a vacation scheme offer!!🥳 I just wanna know how to ask if the firm will be taking people on for a TC because it doesn’t say on the website and they have their TC applications still open!
looks like in the past people did get TC offers before covid but a lot have been given a YC after being a paralegal
If it was me, I'd wait for the VS. The whole TC process is a combination of luck and skill. So if I'd wanted to maximise my chances, I'd go for the opportunity with the most places.Guys, I wanted your opinion on this if a law firm only recruited 1 person from direct TC applications for their London office would you still apply for it or not. As taking into account all the factors that I don't attend a Russell group university and will be competing against all those candidates for 1 place would you still apply for the firm. What is everyone's views on this is it worth applying for it or wait until October to apply for their VS. Thank you in advance.
If that’s the only opportunity you have to potentially secure a TC with the firm and they you have a strong preference for them, yes. You never know when one could become two, or three as well.Guys, I wanted your opinion on this if a law firm only recruited 1 person from direct TC applications for their London office would you still apply for it or not.

Thank you very much for this appreciate it and I agree with you and the thing is that I recently got my motivation and confidence back after receiving many PFO's so am on the fence with this 1.If it was me, I'd wait for the VS.

However, if you're confident you can produce an excellent application then go for the TC.
Hopefully that's an opinion that helps you a little ☺️
Thank you very much Jessica for this and I agree with you so I will give it another think as I have completed the application but it is just is it worth submitting it or wait for VS.If that’s the only opportunity you have to potentially secure a TC with the firm and they you have a strong preference for them, yes.

Would there be anything to stop you applying for the TC, then applying again for the VS in October if you were unsuccessful this round?Thank you very much for this appreciate it and I agree with you and the thing is that I recently got my motivation and confidence back after receiving many PFO's so am on the fence with this 1.

I should have asked this. For me this would be a key consideration. As if you can't apply for both it makes the choice a little tougher!Would there be anything to stop you applying for the TC, then applying again for the VS in October if you were unsuccessful this round?
Ultimately it is a question of opportunity cost. If you haven’t got the time and want to prioritise other applications, then the opportunity cost is higher than if you have the time and it’s a priority firm for you. That opportunity cost is always going to be such an individual calculation, put frankly, you’ll be better placed to work this out than any of us 😂😂😂Thank you very much for this appreciate it and I agree with you and the thing is that I recently got my motivation and confidence back after receiving many PFO's so am on the fence with this 1.
