[QUOTE="TCinpipeline, post: 97545, member: 17355"] When I read your subject heading, the first thought that came to my mind was "good for him for nailing a VS"! As Jessica said we shouldn't be comparing ourselves to other candidates but to make you feel better, I haven't secured one acceptance on an application form yet (not for want of trying a few so far) let alone a VS, interview, etc. I am a mature candidate and I have had people comment that since I work in a law firm I should find it easy to find a TC but that doesn't necessarily give me a better foot in the door than others. For one, I don't have the greatest academic grades and I have heard ([USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] will correct me if I am wrong) but one paralegal I knew applied for a TC in her own firm and they expected her to have a better understanding than someone not working in the legal industry when they asked her a commercial awareness question in her TC interview. Unfortunately she failed on that question but passed the other questions. We are all on our own personal journey. I welcome the new route to qualify as I think the legal world needed it being one of the industries that is still elitist to a degree and is slow to make any changes. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
