2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
As you work full time, your “spare time” to do applications would be the mornings before work, the evenings after work and/or the weekends. I had this issue last year and I chose to spend mornings and weekends on applications and chilled in the evening. Mornings and weekends I am more alert...- Holly

In my experience (January 2021), Topscore displayed when the exercise would end, rather than a timer as such. Although, sometimes I noticed the exercise expired a couple of minutes after it was meant to. So, I would recommend setting your own timer just in case. Didn’t use Grammarly but my...- Holly

Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*
As they’ve given you their emails, I believe the firm would want you to reach out to them. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t, but if you want to introduce yourself then do! It’s a great chance to ask any questions you have before the scheme too :) Remember they are your buddy because...- Holly

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
Hey, I’m sorry to hear you have been struggling. In my opinion, you have done the right thing by expressing your availability. Socials are organised for vac schemers to attend, so you shouldn’t feel guilty for attending them, especially if you are a bit low with the workload! I actually did a...- Holly

1. If you reapplied and the application questions stay the same in autumn, then you already have some kind of draft to work with. 2. Autumn is also a pretty busy time of year where you could attend virtual law fairs or open days with the firm in question, which could strengthen your knowledge...- Holly
