Can I please fill in the job experience section with bullet points?
Or is it better to use full paragraphs

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share that after 3 cycles of applications, more than a hundred applications, 5 Ac, and 3 VS .... I have received two TC offers!!
I now have the luxury to choose between the two, something I never thought would happen to me!
I wanted to thank everyone on the forum again and wish good luck to those still in the process !!
Edit: I did not convert 2 VS which proves that rejection post VS does not mean you'll never get it or that you're not good enough for it!

Bakers post AC pfo - another cycle it is. See you in 2 months!
Hey!
I would first check whether the firm gives any guidance on how they want the work experience section to be completed, as some will specify a preferred format.
However, in my experience, most firms tend to prefer prose over bullet points, as it allows you to provide a bit more context around what you did and the skills you developed. That being said, I don't think either format is inherently right or wrong, and either is likely to work fine. As long as you clearly explain your role, your main responsibilities, and the transferable skills and insights you gained, you'll be covering what the graduate recruitment team are looking for.
If you do use bullet points, I would just make sure they are descriptive rather than simply listing tasks you did
Huge congratulations - that is fantastic news!! I hope you take some time to celebrate all of your hard work, as you have earned it!
Has anyone got any updates on the following firms:
1. Stephenson Harwood
2. BCLP
3. RPC
4. Paul Hastings
5. Slaughter and May

idk, but i saw last cycle thread they heard back for an AC in early July.
Stephenson Harwood wait is killing me!!
RPC said their AC's are in August so we should hear back end of July at the latest.
Slaughter and May have emailed multiple people for their grades so I presume they are still gathering all the information.
Paul Hastings only contacts people who are successful and I haven't seen anything on here or Reddit so far, so I'm assuming they are still reviewing.
Has anyone heard back from Morgan Lewis after the phone interview?
I haven’t yet, but I believe they said they’ll aim to get back to people next week. If anyone has heard otherwise though please lmk.
