About to make another TC application

[Ogechi]

Hi Guys,

I am really new on here and there is so much to take in.

I graduated from Leeds University with a 2:1. I worked for two years post graduation (although not in any law firm). I am about to make yet another TC application with Eversheds Sutherland and I will be honest, I am freaking out. I know they have changed their process and now do Strength based video interviews. I have never done this before. I have gotten too many rejections to count and I just need help.

Can anybody help with more information about applying to Eversheds Sutherland? I don't mind been linked up with someone who has gone through their recent process or even a future trainee.

Will appreciate any help!
Thanks

I can put you in touch with someone who recently did the Eversheds Sutherland video interview if it helps. Are you at that stage now or are you looking to send in your application first?

What are the Eversheds application questions?

One of my biggest pieces of advice to people going through the process, and something I tried to remind myself of daily (and still do), was just to take each stage of the application process one step at a time. It’s anxious enough, there’s no point making it more stressful and jumping ahead to interviews/assessments/timescales.

Perhaps also have more applications on the go, other than Eversheds.

Thank you so much for this. I put my application in on Friday but I am just full of nerves. Any application tips?

There is also an excellent new video that Jaysen shared from Shearman about applications in general. The good and bad of applications and what you need to concentrate on: https://ukgraduates.shearman.com/20...ppications-are-rejected-whiteboard-wednesday/

Hi Ogechi... my understanding was that Eversheds doesn't open their application until March 1st again for the TC- did you apply to the HK one??

Yes you are correct. I have just begun the UK TC application. Was really nervous about it so I decided to join this forum and get some support which I have found to be comforting and encouraging. Thank you very much!
