How to Explain Rejections in Interviews?
You can start the answer with “my feedback was X, but since then I have done…..” This means you are answering the question very briefly but that you are focusing more of the positive aspects rather than dwelling on the negative. Sometimes it isn’t just your feedback though - sometimes it is...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Any decision on whether to offer based on grades would be made at the point of offer - not afterwards. The only reason they would withdraw an offer is if you were not able to meet the academic requirements (eg a 2.1 at undergraduate, pass or a certain grade in the SQE/LPC etc). It would be more...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Things are pretty for me busy outside of work at the moment and so I can’t always reply to posts as quickly as I would like - please try to be patient with me. It is really not an issue what you have suggested though. Grades obviously still matter, but a predicted grade always is only that and...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - they will understand some people won’t be able to make it. maybe ask whether it is being recorded and if so if you could access it afterwards?- TCLA Community Assistant

Previous Unfinished Study: To include or not?
You’ll need to explain the two year time gap. Someone will question what you did for the two years you were studying and if you are ultimately declaring extra curriculars during that degree then it will be obvious you are leaving out some detail. Recruiters are pretty cynical people and will...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
I’d personally attempt one last time via writing and make some insinuation that although you don’t want to explore having to receive feedback via a subject access request, that given the time since the assessment if you haven’t received the feedback within another 4 weeks, you would need to take...- TCLA Community Assistant

1) Make sure it is something that you are showing your knowledge of rather than trying to show a skill. If you can 2) Yes - make the assumption of a junior lawyer (vac scheme student/trainee - depending on what you are applying to) I would use your average from last year as a predictor of your...- TCLA Community Assistant

These things don’t have to so binary as a yes or no answer. For instance could you try and influence the client to become more sustainable in the long term?- TCLA Community Assistant

Just schedule it into your diary at a time when you are at your best. There is little point trying to do it after a long day of studying or in an early morning after a lack of sleep.- TCLA Community Assistant

This is for any information that couldn’t be answered in other sections.

You’d probably call rather than email. An email you never know when it will be read. A phone call may intercept the email before it is read.- TCLA Community Assistant

It’s a predicted grade - sometimes predictions are wrong and that’s not an issue. But you should present what you/your academics think is achievable. I don’t think you can base that on one module though. Your situation is slightly different as your grading system doesn’t work on a 2.2/2.1/1.1...- TCLA Community Assistant

1) There isn’t really a best structure - it’s really going to depend on the story and it’s connection to you. PESTLE isn’t necessary - I’d say most people go more with the narrative aspect. 2) either is fine. Although if you have a lot of specialist knowledge/experience in one practice area...- TCLA Community Assistant
