Jobs before training contract
Hi Jessica, I hope you are doing well 😊 Just to follow on from what you said here, but in a different context. This is for a marketing and BD assistant role in a law firm (first year trainee salary is in the low £40k salaries if that’s relevant). When I Googled, I saw £25k as an average for...- summer207

Hi @Jessica Booker I hope you are well! I have a 1-month internship with a firm and I requested hybrid working. HR said she spoke to the teams who said they'd prefer if it was fully office-based and I will gain more since it is for a short period. I requested it because the journey would take...- summer207

Free Month of TCLA Premium (Bronze) Every Week (21-22)!
Hi @George Maxwell, I hope you are well! I found the course very helpful and it is by far the most comprehensive resource I used when preparing for my VS. I went into it confident in my abilities and having an idea of the kind of things to consider and clarify when assigned work, given a group...- summer207

I hope your symptoms aren’t too bad! I think that is a very reasonable ask. The firm will not expect you to show up for an AC with COVID because you risk infecting others and some people may be more vulnerable to it. I’d call them first thing tomorrow morning explaining your situation, maybe...- summer207

I forgot to PM you because it actually came up that day, I used the template you had sent previously and it actually went really well. She was apologetic and very understanding, so thank you!- summer207

TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
In the past year, I’ve had catch-ups on Zoom. But regarding setting up coffee catch-ups/chats during a VS, how does that usually work in person? Do we actually go out and have the coffee in a cafe? Or just chat in the canteen or a common area at the firm? A bit random but I have no idea what a...- summer207

If you don’t find out your seats till the VS starts, is there anything to actually prep in advance, except brushing up on your knowledge of the firm?- summer207

@AvniD I hope you are well! I’m not sure if this applied in your circumstances as an international student but I thought it was worth asking. If I’m doing a VS this year and get a TC from that, the start date is likely to be 2024, which means my LPC/SQE won’t start till 2023. Considering I...- summer207

Thanks for your response Jessica! Regarding graduation, what’s the best way to phrase the email to request the day off? The internship doesn’t start till July but I’d like to sort this out in advance- summer207
