[QUOTE="geraniumdreams, post: 38665, member: 8189"] Hey all, hope you're doing well! I'm a career changer looking to move into law after three years of working in unrelated industries and hopefully will be embarking on the GDL in January. The only thing is, I'm very very nervous it won't pan out. It feels like for every story I hear about a career changer managing to secure a TC, there are five more who are struggling to make it happen. I'm curious as to whether there are any other career changers on TCLA who have managed to successfully secure a TC, what your backgrounds are like and how you proved your commitment to law with an unrelated background? In addition, I'd also be curious to know how long it took to secure a TC? If anyone has any advice on how to move forward, I'd love to hear it! I'm reluctant to start the GDL without a TC but at a Virtual Open Day I went to, the grad recruiter said that it was rare for non-law graduate career changers to apply to TC/Vac Schemes without having at least started the GDL already. Thanks so much :) [/QUOTE]
