[QUOTE="Jessica Pearson - Managing Director, post: 206528, member: 39846"] Hello all, Now, don't boo me for this thread but I did want to ask this question about my specific situation. I am doing a PGDL currently and I am applying to TCs but without any previous legal work experience to back it up. I just got a rejection for the Shoosmiths VS and I have a sinking feeling that my other VS will be rejected as well. If possible, I would like to get a TC this cycle and not wait until the next one. I have already considered my transferable skills from previous/current jobs and I have attended law fairs & events when I can. I am not sure what I could do to make my application stand out more - I am joining a pro bono law team and I am also trying to do some virtual work experience. Is there anything that I can/should do or is it something that I should just not bother with at this stage. For further info, the firms I am considering applying to for direct TCs are: - [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/white-case.74']White & Case[/URL] - [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/sullivan-cromwell.41']Sullivan & Cromwell[/URL] - Farrer & Co. - [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/macfarlanes.17']Macfarlanes[/URL] - Kingsley Napley - [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/norton-rose-fulbright.66']NRF[/URL] - [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/bclp.21']BCLP[/URL] - Baker Mackenzie [/QUOTE]
