Thank you for all the encouragement Jessica :') Yes, it's exactly those questions! I haven't started a business, nor have I gathered enough work/life expereince to have relevant storiesI don't think it necessarily means you are not suited to the firm. What are you struggling with specifically? Is it that you don't feel you have examples of having to "drop everything" to deliver a promise or can show when you have been innovative/entrepreneurial?
There isn't a TCLA dictionary unfortunately.
Often acronyms relate to a firm's name (e.g. CMS - is International law firm CMS | United Kingdom)
AC = assessment centre
PFO = forum slang for receiving a rejection (Please f*ck off)
Don't be afraid to ask if you ever want clarity on terminology though - everyone in the forum is very happy to help people on their learning journey.
I've considered using more personal stories, relating to supporting my friends through difficult times. What do you think?
On that note, would you recommend using stories where I didn't succeed in balancing delivering a promise with my other commitments? As long as I write down the lessons I learnt/ what I would do differently.
Thanks for clarifying the acronyms too (LOL at PFO)
