Definitely no need to repeat it - I would focus more on what you enjoyed about the work/how that motivates you to do the job you are applying to, rather than focusing on what you did.
This is amazing news!! Double the congratulations on two offers (and thank you for your kind words!).I can’t quite believe I’m writing this… I have now received two Training Contract offers over the last week!!!It feels completely surreal.
I want to say a massive thank you to the whole of the TCLA team, especially @Jessica Booker who has always been there to answer any questions or reassure me on a phone call. I also want to say thank you to anyone who has helped me along my journey, I couldn’t have done it alone!
The process of getting a TC involves (at least it did for me) plenty of rejection and disappointment, so my tips are to:
(1) Join lots of forums on TCLA and interact with as many people you can. I have had my nerves calmed/questions answered by countless people on this platform.
(2) Paralegal if you are a graduate. This might not be for everyone, but working for a law firm has taught me so much about the “work of a trainee”. It definitely helped my applications/interviews!
(3) Get TCLA Gold Membership. I remember thinking at the start, omg this is expensive / I’m not sure whether I should do it - but in the end decided that 5 hours working behind a bar was worth being able to view countless *successful* applications. And I was right! Even if you only subscribe for a couple of months, get on there and read what a successful application looks like. Have an application reviewed! This will help you more than anything else if you can’t get through that first stage!!
I’m always happy to answer any questions that anyone might have, just DM me!

Keep the faith and if anything, it is a learning curveGot invited to Dentons test and video interview. I do not think I have done well enough to go through to the next stage
Were the maths questions in the test quite hard and what sorts of video interview questions were there?How long does it usually take for the premium database membership request to be approved?Yes you do
If you PM me proof of purchase, I can do this as soon as I see the message. Unfortunately I don’t have access to information outside of the forums so wouldn’t be able to see this information, hence why I would need it sent to me.
