[QUOTE="AspiringLawyer, post: 29133, member: 4370"] Hi all, I couldn't seem to find an existing discussion to post my question so created a new thread. Apologies if it should be diverted elsewhere. For context, I am currently working as a paralegal and have done so for the past 3 months. I have, however, been on furlough over the last few weeks. During my time on furlough, I have been making TC applications. My immediate supervisor is a Partner and we get along well. We regularly WhatsApp to keep each other up to date on general matters and to check in etc. Tomorrow we have an informal Zoom chat scheduled. I was wondering how best to approach the conversation of applying for TCs or, alternatively, whether it is appropriate to broach the subject at all. The reason I feel so torn is because I don't want to come across dishonest about how I have been spending my free time by not mentioning it if it is 'so obvious' that I am applying for TCs. That being said, I am also acutely aware that this could potentially make me an easy option for redundancy as he may view it as a reason to withdraw from 'investing' in me if I am, in the long term, looking elsewhere. To add to complications, I am also looking to apply for a TC with the firm itself but feel that this is highly unlikely given my furloughed status and limited time there. Perhaps I am overthinking but I would be grateful if anyone had any thoughts. Many thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
