TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
Is it recommended to give similar answers on your application form at the interview? For example, can you answer "why do you want to train at this firm" with the same points on your application form?- babylawyer1942

Due Dilligence Diaries (My TC Journey)
So small update: I did the Reed Smith SJT + VI. I was super glad I got invited, but I'm not too sure the SJT part went very well. I struggled with the maths a bit so I got an average score, and on the pillars, I was 6,6,4,4. I really put in the effort to try to learn how to do SJTs well so I'm...- babylawyer1942

Due Dilligence Diaries (My TC Journey)
Update: There’s not much to report at the moment. I’ve managed to send off a few more applications, which feels like progress, even though I haven’t heard back from any yet. That seems to be the case for most people right now, so I’m not too worried. This week, my main focus is preparing for...- babylawyer1942

Due Dilligence Diaries (My TC Journey)
In terms of what I've done so far in my 2 weeks of applying again: Applied to Fried Frank: Got the watson glaser but just found out I didn't score high enough. Annoying but not completely unexpected, I am historically not very good at the test. If anyone has tips on how to get better at it...- babylawyer1942

Due Dilligence Diaries (My TC Journey)
Hey everyone, After years of lurking on TCLA, I’ve finally decided to step out of the shadows and start sharing my training contract journey.✨ So many of you have kept me going through the rejections, the rewrites, and the late-night Legal 500 rabbit holes — so now I’m hoping to do the same...- babylawyer1942

What Am I Doing Wrong?
Thank you so much for your encouragement @Ram Sabaratnam @ZNadeem. I actually made 3 applications since writing this post, and one of them progressed to the next stage (still waiting on the others), so naturally, I got my fighting spirit back. I still want this very badly, and I am going to do...- babylawyer1942

What Am I Doing Wrong?
Hello everyone, I'm just looking for advice on what to do differently or if its time to call it quits. I am a first-class law 2023 graduate from an RG Uni. I've had 3 cycles now. In my first cycle, I managed to get a vacation scheme but didn't convert. In my second and third cycles, I got up...- babylawyer1942
