Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amma Usman" data-source="post: 217525" data-attributes="member: 36740">Hello everyone!My name is Amma Usman and I’m a Community Assistant at TCLA alongside [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] and [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER].By way of introduction, I’m an SQE student at BPP Law School and a Future Trainee at <a href="https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/gibson-dunn-crutcher.24" target="_blank">Gibson Dunn</a>. I’m an international student, born and raised in Nigeria, and I moved to the UK a couple years back. I joined TCLA a year ago and I was so keen on joining due to the positive impact it had on my career trajectory and perception of the law firm application process. From the wonderful forum community where everyone was so open and friendly about their experiences, to the comprehensive courses, TCLA really felt like a ‘community’ from day one.One piece of advice I would really love to share about the whole process is that consistency would take you places that sometimes motivation may not. As a candidate, it’s super easy to feel let down by rejections or struggle with confidence during the process - I certainly did. Although it’s always worth remembering that every rejection, every feedback call with a member of graduate recruitment, every written application, all eventually contribute to securing that TC. As an international student, I personally struggled with adapting to the legal system in the UK as I had only been exposed to Nigerian laws and deals my whole life. I also felt quite ‘late’ to the process as I had no knowledge of what graduate programmes or training contracts even were until the end of my first year! I must admit that all these feelings were quite overwhelming but eventually I realised that I actually appreciated the journey a whole lot more when it wasn’t particularly smooth.Really looking forward to getting deep into the role and adding as much value as possible! Lovely to meet you all <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
