Not exactly TC related but... I have somehow gained an interview for a paralegal role with a good firm. It says I will be asked "a mix of questions based on your experience and capabilities" and a short written exercise at the end of the interview. Does anyone have any tips/advice about this or...- glaw23

This is what I was thinking. It is still incredibly stigmatised, and most law firms are only now wrapping their heads around the basics of mental health etc. I can't see and OF creator being looked at positively on their application. May I ask, those who you know of, is it their only/main...- glaw23

Ok this is completely hypothetical but the thought crossed my mind today. If a candidate was an OnlyFans creator/s*x worker of some kind, how would you detail that on your CV? 😂 if you put it in at all. These platforms are so common these days, surely it must be part of some applicant's life...- glaw23

So.... Do we all hate the question "why law?" or is it just me? 😂 I have been reading my application and the "why law" part is the bit I really am unhappy with. Nothing I write sounds good enough!- glaw23

@Jessica Booker I am just going over my Freshfields statement. How many points/reasons would you recommend to answer 'why Freshfields?'. I realised I only have 2, and wasn't sure if that was enough.- glaw23

I have been checking Freedom of Information Act requests for unis and postgrad pass rates, but for ULaw I can only find stuff requested about the GDL :( I would definitely say phone around to check!- glaw23

This is a very good point, actually. I will email them and ask! I see! This might be where the confusion is coming from from those who have spoken about the SQE with me.- glaw23

I have thought about the SQE, but I wasn't sure about finances there. I was going to do the LLM LPC one for the post grad loan, then work the rest. Honestly, I have no idea what is going on with the SQE either. I have been told it starts in September, or that it doesn't start until this time...- glaw23

Guys this isn't directly TC related but I dunno where else to ask. Does LPC provider matter to a firm (from self funding, not from a TC)? I wanted BPP but I can't afford it. My undergrad uni is ranked super low (london met) but it is also like 8k cheaper for me to do the lpc there if I don't...- glaw23

When do TC apps start opening again? I never usually start applying until much later in the cycle (usually due to drowning in exams and also a lot of avoidance). I have graduated this year, so I wondered roughly when I can start looking at applying to firms I'm interested in but missed due to...- glaw23

Thank you so much! That link is far easier that wasting time with extensively researching each firm to find out their policy. Do you have any advice on how to word the mitigating circ.? Short and sweet? Do I make a point of saying that my mental health is significantly better now? Mine is for...- glaw23
