Hello
I am due to start my TC in September 2023. The actual contract states my offer is subject to successfully completing the LPC. However, I deferred some exams due to health problems and the next sit for these is August 2023, will results released in October 2023.
I am therefore unsure if I...
I have recently been offered a 2023 TC from a firm that does not currently sponsor either route and so I will have to self fund. I am leaning more towards the LPC as after calculating the costs of SQE prep course + exam fees, they are roughly the same as a full LPC course. My firm is giving us...
I just think on paper I look good, hence I get invited to ACs and then, no matter how much I prepare for them, they always go badly... I think my competency interviews are okay but it's usually the case studies/written exercise interviews that bring me down. I just feel I'm not really good at...
I've recently had an AC and I'm waiting to hear back but I can't help but pick out and overanalyse all the mistakes I made. There were good moments, but I feel like the bad moments are going to overweigh and leave me with that PFO.
I often wonder why would they choose me if there's someone who...
How long do firms doing winter vac schemes usually take to decide outcomes of TC offers from the vac scheme? Do they wait till they've completed all their vac schemes (winter, spring, summer)?
Are Slaughter and May no longer accepting law graduate applications for 2024? Their website only mentions non-law for the September 2024 intake. I was not aware the March 2024 application had already closed :(
I ask this, particularly after seeing what Clifford Chance have chosen to do this year but also with regards to my own experiences. Last year, (when I was in penultimate year of my law degree and had no legal experience), I applied to about 5 or 6 firms, some even the day before the deadline and...
I know some candidates who failed to covert their last vs into a tc have been asked this before. How would you go about this, especially if the feedback you got wasn't the best?
I got my first TC rejection today after doing a virtual vac scheme with the firm. I put my everything into this and right now I know I need to build myself up again and motivate myself for next cycle but I just feel so drained, burnt out and disappointed that I'm not really sure how to go about...
I'm concerned if I get asked why I didn't apply for their vacation scheme because I have completed a vacation scheme elsewhere which I talk about quite a bit in my application (I am a penultimate year law student). What would be an appropriate answer? I honestly didn't apply to many firms for...
Is it worth applying for the TC after I was rejected following the vac scheme assessment centre at Freshfields just February this year? In my feedback they said my competency interview was good but the case study one, my answers could have been more detailed.
Or do you think it’s better to wait...
