    Nicee assuming you only decided to go for US/MC/SC?

    Did you get a Goodwin interview Or is it TC app?

    I reckon Mofo has Ghosted if they haven’t replied as it has been mentioned some have interviews and they’re nortious for need replying (I’ve put them as pfo myself)

    Does anyone know if the Paul Hastings summer work placement ends with a TC interview? I've checked online but can't seem to find out - currently trying to decide if I should just apply to the direct TC or the summer scheme
    I went to their open day. They said they don’t. It’s just a paid work placement. If you want a TC from them, you’ll still need to apply to their direct TC

    currently stressing for my white and case interview on Monday. Does anyone have any advice on common reasons why applicants get rejected from the assessment centre? I was just wondering what to avoid. (Apart from naming all US firms as competitors 😂)
    RonRod will go down in TCLA folklore

    Does anyone know how far out from the start date paralegal positions recruit from?
    I’d say a week to a month. I’d say the standard is two weeks unless the firm is stringent on when they want you to start (like one firm wouldn’t mind whenever you start asap and pay you in six weeks rather than four, and another would just wait till the start of a new month so they can calculate your pay accordingly)

    failing to finish the written assessment, not saying enough during group exercises, cutting my answers for 'why law' or 'why firm' short, freaking out after looking at the frowning partner and spitting out every single commercial concept I've studied the past week were some of the personal ones 💀

    just go in prepared, relax, and try to be yourself. they are not looking for perfection🤣
