[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 42502, member: 1160"] Just to add to this, I would just be conscious of the way it might come across to the partner and HR. A lot of people sadly face rejection and have to make reapplications and face the process again. I would be conscious of coming across as though you are trying to by-pass the formal process and leverage a previous relationship to get a position with the firm. I think it would be fine to keep in touch in a mentor/mentee relationship way though. If you were seeking paralegal roles in their department and asking if there might be any, I personally think this is slightly different than asking about TCs. It is not necessarily that it would be unprofessional but more just about the fairness of the process and firms, especially larger ones, have strict processes to try to ensure this fairness. [/QUOTE]
