Message: <blockquote data-quote="DonnieDarko" data-source="post: 45631" data-attributes="member: 9248">sorry to hear you are struggling but perhaps a few things to pause and reflect on, especially given all the stress we are under collectively.- How badly do you want to become a solicitor? There are countless examples of people who either paralegal for ages and apply cycle after cycle before breaking through. Appreciate that’s not for everyone but it is possible.- Securing TC is arduous and competitive. But reading your post, sounds like you’re taking yourself out of the game. Can you give yourself some leeway and say your goal in the next two years is to get a TC? So you can apply this cycle, see how you go and then take some learnings forward. - Like you, I was working going through the process. If you do get go AC cross that bridge when it comes to it. As I understand it, they’re all being done virtually so worst case scenario you can “call in sick” if you can’t request off or don’t want to alarm them that you’re applying. If you did get a TC, it’d be for two years from now so you’ll need that job prior to starting SQE/LPC. - I was nearly a decade out from uni so I used all the questions and tailored them to my experience to show why I was qualified. - I feel you about evenings and weekends but it might be worth considering a strategy a la I’ll work on applications on Mondays and Wednesdays nights and for 3-4 hours on Saturday? My big view here is that you need to break things down into manageable chunks and perhaps take a step back to reassess your position and future. The worst case scenario is four years from now you regret not going for it and are in the same position. Good luck</blockquote>
