    Scared to apply to TC

    Hi Natasha, your post really resonates with me, especially the shyness - I am super introverted and really struggle to put myself out there, especially in in-person situations (online seems to be a bit easier for me). Clearly, as you said, you have fantastic experience and it sounds like you...

    I'm in the same position, I have had a few welcome emails but nothing about induction and can't log in to get my timetable or anything yet

    I've decided to go for ULaw because they have locations that are more convenient for me - and my experience at BPP doing the PGDL was not amazing, so I didn't want to rush back there! I've also heard horror stories about both so I just went for the more convenient option for me!

    I am beyond delighted to have accepted a TC offer with WBD 🎉🍾 I have been a long time lurker and semi frequent poster on TCLA, but I am so grateful for the community here - just knowing other people are going through the same thing has been invaluable! This was my third cycle and I am a career...

    Thank you, that's super helpful! Don't suppose you know what days of the week classes are on? Looks online like there's a two day timetable option but when I called to ask they are unable to tell me

    Does anyone know when the start date is for the LPC at ULaw (Sept 22)?

    Yes I did! I thought it was pretty good but always so hard to tell! How about you? Just had an email from them saying we'll hear back mid next week - presume you've had the same but just thought I'd say in case you haven't seen it yet!

    I didn't actually do a vac scheme, I applied directly for the TC which is partly why I have no idea whether anyone else has heard anything! My final interview was w/c 25th July too though

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I don't have anything profound to add that hasn't already been said but just want to add my support and reiterate that you haven't ruined anything! If you have already secured a TC, you are clearly strong and powerful - and being pregnant does not change that at all!

    Thanks so much for the detailed response Jessica, that's really helpful. Glad I asked!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hey @Jessica Booker, I have a question and don't want to come across ungrateful at all, but I was wondering in your experience whether TC salaries are at all negotiable? I've been lucky enough to receive multiple offers but the one from my preferred firm has a much lower salary than I can really...

    Are TC application rejections always communicated? Is no news good news or bad news??

    Yes you should hear back whether you've been successful or not but it's not unusual for there to be quite a delay in hearing back!

    I'd be really interested to hear people's experiences/views on the accelerated LPC if anyone has any experience with it?

    Re your question about the headhunter, I would look at it as a question of whether there is more to be gained/learned in your current role? If you feel you've got as far as you can in your role (despite being there for a short amount of time) then absolutely consider the other role. If you feel...

    Paralegal Salary Expectations?

    If it helps, I always just put "competitive" or "open to negotiation" on application forms that ask this, including paralegal vacancies. I've never found this has a negative effect for me - I managed to get multiple paralegal interviews and offers having put this on the initial forms 🤷‍♀️
