[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 11846, member: 1"] I'll come back to your first question later but just to share some thoughts on your LinkedIn point -- LinkedIn is a really great way for TCLA to connect with students and share our content with people we might not normally be able to reach. That said, I don't think the main news feed is very healthy for aspiring lawyers. If it was a thing back when I was applying and I could pass on some advice, I'd tell myself to only use it to follow a few pages (I don't think I'd have the resolve to get off it completely). As much as you want to be happy for people who have secured training contracts, I don't think you can escape feeling rubbish if you haven't secured a TC yet. The platform is designed for self-congratulatory posts and constant job updates, which may not be a bad thing in itself, but it makes it seem like everyone around you is securing training contracts (when the reailty is far from it).
