TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[TCLA Community Assistant]

@jessicabooker for Withers' application, can I included informal shadowing and open days as part of work experience? Some firms expect this others do not.

The informal work shadowing definitely can be.

If there isn’t a dedicated section for careers events, then I would consider grouping your open days together in one entry.

Do you think Bristows send their PFOs in batches or one go?

The Womble Bond Dickinson app form does not seem to have any space to input university grades – do you have the same thing?
