[QUOTE="Samphire, post: 125462, member: 26366"] hello to you all, I'm new here, heard about this website and specific thread from another forum member. I thought I'd try and post here when I have time each week. two key reasons: 1. as Jaysen says, putting it in public is a form of accountability 2. I find the inevitable rejections really difficult to handle, but feel creating a list will help me keep focused. even one can rejection derail me for days - and, oddly, in a way that rejections for other jobs have never affected me as badly. this year is also a challenge as (very happily) I'm in the grand final of one of the commercial awareness competitions - which, along with my job and applications, means I need to be even more organised about me... I'm a candidate who got a high-result LPC from University of Law Moorgate in summer 2021. currently working as a paralegal for a big media company. whilst a lot of my day job is about contracts (especially IP) I'm trying to gain experience in other areas, such as litigation. this is partly to add more flavour to my applications, and also partly to keep me constantly learning - a key reason for wanting to become a lawyer :) my goal: secure a TC or VS by summer 2023. *open days I applied to (both of which accepted me): Bird & Bird Taylor Wessing *open days I got c/o Aspiring Solicitors: Bristows *firms I've applied to so far: Bird & Bird Taylor Wessing *firms to apply to before New Year: Bristows Lewis Silkin Osborne Clarke *firms to finish researching and apply to from January 2023: Pinsent Masons RPC Simkins TLT Wiggin for all the firms in that last group, I've 'front-loaded' the research (e.g. attending online events), as know these start to become less regular in the new year. I've then written notes to finish in January and start applying for TCs and VSs. goal for week beginning December 5th: finish off my Bristows application (meaning: fill it in with my free text answers, check it, print it, check it again, come back to it, leave it a day or two, check it again, and only then: submit) [/QUOTE]
