[QUOTE="Hamza, post: 1347, member: 9"] Sure, the period of time was about 3 years after graduating that I secured my first TC (so the timespan for the events that I wrote). However, that firm didn’t work out, as it was KWM and it ended up going into liquidation. So after all that I was left with no TC, and us future trainees were given no help by KWM or any other firms in securing another TC. We were back to square one. My plan was to focus on my business idea instead of applying again. But some friends convinced me to give in a few speculative applications for my conscience so i don’t regret not trying one more time later down the line. I gave in 3/4 app’s, and got rejections apart from 1 MC firm. I had an assessment day and the most interesting interview with a partner there outlining my story thus far and my motivations. A few days later I got the call that I secured the TC. So within a month of KWM going bust I had secured another TC and upgraded to a MC firm. It’s also sad because I still know people from my KWM cohort who are finding it hard to secure something. That added on about another half year to the timeline. [/QUOTE]
