    What am I doing wrong?

    What has been said above is very helpful but I just wanted to say that I understand how demotivating it is to be rejected at application stage. Last year I received multiple rejections at application and it is so frustrating as you don't have any feedback to see where you are going wrong! I...

    I wouldn't worry about having a beard, in the view of diversity etc I am sure that there have been individuals with facial hair before. I would just ensure that it is tidy and groomed as opposed to the 'electrocution look' that my husband seems to favour with his beard!

    Wow, I would struggle to have all of those on the go at once! I am learning Italian and refreshing my French as I used to be well-learned many years ago! Mandarin is on my future list once Italian is in the bag. I would definitely have that listed as an achievement, impressive!

    Let's hear about TCLA members' hobbies!

    We've got one! My daughter loves chess and my parents got it for her Xmas last year so we could all play together....very fun, easily confusing but great! The board is hexagonal! I recommend it for anyone who is a fan of the game

    I think this is a great example and you definitely don't have to have something academic as long as it is genuinely your proudest achievement. Be sure to demonstrate how it helped you develop resilience, resourcefulness, determination etc whatever skills and attributes that you think are...

    Watson Glaser hints and tips

    I would just add on this that what I find the hardest about the WG is having to check your own knowledge and assumptions at the door. You have to be very aware to only take the information that is provided to you in the statement, regardless of what you might know about the subject!

    I completely understand that feeling, the main thing to remember is that it is not about how good you are. You could literally be the absolute best version of yourself and not get it purely because it isn't about you, it's about who you are up against. You can't control who the other applicants...

    not long at all, just make sure you have your documents ready (transcript etc). Mine only took a couple of days once everything was uploaded.

    Enrollment is very quick and you may be able to join the September start at ULaw still as it has only been running for 2 weeks so far and there have recently been some later entries in my group. Some providers also offer an accelerated LPC so that may be an option considering your short...

    recruitment agency training

    I would always be wary of anyone requesting money for recruitment. There are many people that take advantage of how competitive the industry is. You shouldn't ever need to pay to get a job and these kind of schemes are frowned upon
