    Thank you for your response and kind words, Jessica. If anyone else is in the same boat: it’s not easy but it’s not the end of the world. Worse things happen to people :)

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    @Jessica Booker I’ve been made redundant from my paralegal role. I have two questions please.. 1) When applying to direct TCs, is this going to reflect badly on me? It was a layoff - not performance related - but I’m unsure of how firms view these cases. 2) I now obviously need another job to...

    ngl direct TC seems like such an afterthought for most firms v annoying for those of us who have already graduated and are in full time work and can’t take time off to do vac schemes… so much for DEI I did 1 VS back when I had an understanding employer but didn’t convert and now it just feels...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hey - I can kind of relate as I just turned 26 and didn’t convert my VS last summer. Keep going… you’re obviously good enough - 3 separate firms decided to let you on their schemes. My (totally unqualified) advice/personal opinion would be to focus on direct TCs as you clearly have enough...

    Anyone who applied to Linklaters TC - is there a way to download your application? It just submitted after I completed the WG and I didn’t get the chance to save it

    They really have the dumbest app form - I just did mine and yes I think it seems to automatically submit after you complete the WG

    Allen & Overy now has a requirement of “7 GCSEs at grade 6 or above (including Maths and English).” This seems new…so if you have less than 7 GCSEs, does that mean you can’t apply? Also ngl can’t believe they’re stuck on GCSEs whilst most firms are dropping A level reqs lol

    Thanks so much for this - that’s super helpful and I’m glad it worked out for you! Just to clarify, you’d recommend bringing this up only after being made a VS offer? And not at interview or AC stage?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Hi Jessica - just wondering if asking to be considered for a direct TC is viable if the firm only recruits through vac schemes? I’m an in-house paralegal and have changed jobs to a place where I know they won’t be as understanding as my previous employer who allowed me to attend a VS. I’m...
