Can I ask if you managed to reach the word count? I also don't really have much to say for this section so I'm thinking I'll have to just put the few points I have and hope for the bestI’m struggling with this too, I don’t have much left to say other than a charity volunteer position as most of my experiences come under work experience!
I wouldn’t put it in there - it can be included elsewhere in applications, but jobs generally can be competitive and so it’s not really what they are looking for in this section.Could attending a competitive open day go under this: Please tell us about your achievements and positions of responsibility.

Do people also know if the test has to be done by the application deadlineFor those that did the Latham SJT and VI, how much time do we get to prep for the VI and how much time to speak?
why these firms? You seem to have missed off a lot of good firms that would probably given you a higher chance of success, also by applying to this many firms does it affect your applications? Apologies, this is my first cycle in about 7-10 years (career changer) so I am unclear of the protocol.Holding myself accountable again (another app).

Generally prefer the US firms. Learning by doing. Early responsibility etc. Have had more success with them. Not sure about your second question. I got three ACs last cycle. Not sure how typical that is. I'm also a career changer. What are you doing currently? I don't know about qualification yet. I enjoyed doing tax.why these firms?

Is there a specific area of law you wish to qualify in?
Can you be a career changer if you’ve been chasing a career but doing another whilst chasing. Surely you left university and since then have been applying to law ever since I’m not sure that’s a career changer. But nonetheless I’m sure the experience you’ve gained working alongside applying has been ever so useful for transferable skills.Generally prefer the US firms. Learning by doing.

I don’t think it matters about your status as a career changer- you should be extremely proud of the hard work you have put in whilst exploring another pathway!Can you be a career changer if you’ve been chasing a career but doing another whilst chasing.

What are you on about. No one said Tintin shouldn’t be proud. If anything I said their skills would be transferable. Stop making others out to be the bad person. Comprehension is key.I don’t think it matters about your status as a career changer- you should be extremely proud of the hard work you have put in whilst exploring another pathway!
I don’t think your initial comment was necessary… comes across as being patronising. If @Tintin06 says they are a career changer then so be it - no need to question them about it and say nevertheless I’m sure you’ve gained experience?? It’s not everything you must comment on sometimes tap into your emotional intelligence and keep quiet or know how to phrase things to come across less patronising.What are you on about.

No thanks I say it how I see it. No point sugar coating your journey when it is public. You cannot be a career changer if you didn’t change from a career.
