    Hey, Zoe mentioned that AG is very proud of their Intelligent Delivery which touches on a lot of consulting services, outsourcing services - they're utilising AI in a way that other law firms aren't to be able, to help clients automate their documents, manage high volumes of information etc...

    You could mention a really good grade you got for a module or paper, any sports you’ve been involved in even if it was something like ‘Cancer Walk’ to raise awareness, learning a language or an instrument, art etc… Basically extra curricular activities are things that you have a genuine interest...

    Yeah that's weird because they updated me fairly quickly. Did you check for any correspondence from them on your apply4law account?

    I read that somewhere too. They did send me an email on 26 May saying that they were taking longer to review apps because of the high volume of apps and that they would update me after the bank holiday weekend. Didn't take them long to send me that PFO lol. You should probably send them an email.

    I've seen this on the SRA website. I don't think it should be a problem if you don't secure a TC this year.

    This is my understanding of Asbi's post. Some firms have replaced the TC route with the SQE route or are slowly transitioning to the SQE route. I could be wrong though lol @Asbi please clarify 😂

    I think you could throw in an example of how you managed emotional stress. It really depends on the word limit too I think. I am sure @Jessica Booker will be the best person to help you out with this :)

    Hey do you know which firms are stopping the TC route this year? I heard that most of them would slowly introduce the SQE but still have the TC route as an option.

    Yes, it was a PFO on 04 June for their direct TC. Hoping it's positive news for you though.

    Normally when I try to showcase that skill in an application I use my experience working as a salesgirl, waitress and sales manager.
