Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abstruser" data-source="post: 13336" data-attributes="member: 260">I can't really comment on being successful in the first cycle, as I was not successful in my first cycle! But I think it boils down to a few factors:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Being very clear about your motivations. This applies to both "why commercial law" and "why this firm". Be genuine - think about your experiences, what your personal ambitions are, what makes the firm stand out and how the firm will fit you and your ambitions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Good application technique. There's lots of threads about this on the forum, and TCLA does great application reviews. Ultimately you want to directly answer the question you're being asked, without any unnecessary waffling.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Commercial awareness. Obviously this requires reading the news, but its more than that - its understanding how a business works, how they make money, how they grow etc. I would recommend starting with understanding SWOT and PESTEL business models and picking any random business (eg, Amazon) and researching how they operate. Once you can grasp that, you can make a lot more sense of the commercial news.</li> </ul></blockquote>
