MY TC thread

[Beni1995]

I completed my situational judgement test for A&O last week and this week I have regularly listened to BBC global news, FT news briefing, Watson's daily, and Bright Network's Think Commercially podcast. All of these things are part of my goal to securing a training contract. In the upcoming I want to be preparing for an Assessment Centre.

Thanks for sharing @Beni1995 - fingers crossed on A&O. How do you plan to prepare for your assessment centre?

I was fortunate enough to receive an assessment centre for A&O but unfortunately did not get a TC offer. I think I fell short on the commercial awareness task, which I struggled with. I am waiting for graduate recruitment to get back to me with feedback.

I'm sorry to hear that - I know this can be demoralising. It's a great sign that you made it to the assessment centre stage though, as many applicants won't have.

What's the plan for you now?

Hi @Beni1995, I am sorry to hear A&O didn't work out but do want to commend your ability to reflect objectively and work through what you think could have be improved. Your attitude will hold you in good stead through the peaks and troughs of not only making applications but also a career in commercial law as well. Let me know what grad rec say in terms of your feedback and if you want some forum resources to help you with commercial awareness-based tasks. You've got this 💪
