[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 32202, member: 2672"] Definitely can’t provide any stats or trends. For many firms you will have to wait for their non law application window which won’t open until the Autumn anyway and so with those firms you may want to apply for winter vacation schemes/open days first And then make a subsequent TC application. From what you have said, you’ll probably need more recent work experience (doesn’t have to be law though), so might be advisable to apply for vac schemes rather than direct TCs, but if a firm doesn’t offer them then makes sense to apply directly for a TC. Obviously this is making an awful lots of assumptions based on what you have/haven’t said and also which type of firms you are aiming for. Self-enrolment on to the GDL will show some level of commitment to the career, but to be frank it isn’t enough. In my opinion to many people enrol on the the GDL and think that is enough, when it really won’t be anywhere close to being so. [/QUOTE]
