Application Examples

[Zain97]

Hi all,

I hope you're all well!

Just by way of background, I graduated my Law degree last year, however, have been applying for VS's and TC's since my second year of university. This cycle, I really tried my best and I so far have sent out two applications, one of which where I was invited to interview (my first ever).

The biggest issue I have is writing applications. I feel like I just don't write well enough.

I was wondering whether anyone had any resources on application writing or any exemplars or other examples that I and perhaps others could use? It'd be great to see how people structure and write their answers!

Thanks!

Hi Zain,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations for securing an interview!

In terms of your application writing, I'd really recommend @Hazal's threads in the below link which cover this in a lot of detail.

I hope this is helpful to you and if you require any more help, please don't hesitate to ask!

Best wishes,
Dan

Agreed with Dan. You can definitely improve your writing by learning what makes for good writing (which @Hazal helps to break down in her threads) and with lots of practice.

Most of our mock applications are within the TCLA Premium forum, but we do have this thread: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....-cover-letters-or-online-forms.497/#post-2063
