    Yes, it is expected your answer won’t change that much. Though bear in mind what you’d say in 20-30 minutes would definitely have to be longer and contain more novel points to what 200-300 words would confine you to in an application. Also ensure to not talk about your application answers...

    I’m sorry about this. Rejections happen, but it is in no way a reflection of where you are going. Please keep going, refine your strategy, take some time out, and, keep sending out those apps when you’re ready!

    This is definitely a good idea, and I’ve advised many people to do the same. Just be mindful that the application questions for each firm may change each cycle. Though for some firms, I’ve seen them not change for many years. Regardless, if you have structured answers to the work experience...

    I understand the pressure of not hearing back yet. However, often times, GR will review applications in stages and batches. Emailing them will not make them get back to you any faster. Especially now that VS’ are ongoing and there’s a lot of internal work to do. I understand it’s hard, but I...

    You don’t need to message them on LinkedIn as you’ll meet them soon enough, and in person, anyway. I understand that you may want to get the ground running early but you will get more time during the scheme to build rapport.

    Hi everyone

    In terms of how to navigate the TCLA site, yes you are right - the forum itself is a site that is different from the other site whereby courses are placed. That other site is teachable, but can also be accessed by logging in at - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/ Definitely apply to a...

    Hi everyone

    So often times, firms will have a policy whereby you can not apply to them twice in the same cycle. It’s worth checking each FAQ section/ contacting graduate recruitment to confirm. Though, I advise just pouring your all into a single application for each law firm, to avoid thinking about...

    For those that may be interested, I just wanted to flag that Bird & Bird’s first year scheme closes on the 3rd of July! Best of luck to those interested. When I was offered the role back then , I remember it was just an application form - so ensure to make your answers fully tailored to the...
