TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

Same 😔 Stephenson Harwood PFO

I’m at work atm and on the verge of tears. I’ve tried so hard to do well and to get a training contract as in I was working 30+ hours a week at work last winter whilst studying the LPC full time and ended up in hospital on New Year’s Day. I’ve gotten to video interview stages and then to the online assessments at different firms. I’ve tried to gain experience, gotten those and the TC knock downs have gotten to me so much that I struggle with anxiety now. That application might have been my last one, I don’t think I have it in me anymore. It takes so long for me to even in put my work experience like I can’t do it in one go, I’ve tried everything. I feel really down, I’m trying to stop the tears falling down my face as I sit at my desk at the minute. I don’t feel good enough when on paper, I should be and I’ve hit a wall. A wall that I don’t want to climb over this time; I’m just going to turn around.

I was in the same situation about two to three weeks ago, but I realised that I just need to keep pushing and we will succeed! The TC cycle is very competitive, but it isn't impossible. Just take the week off and do some self-care, have your favourite food today, and just relax today. That's what I did when I was feeling the same way, and it helped me a lot mentally.

Just received a belated WDGAFO from Blake Morgan after six months.

Thank you for your application for a Training Contract with Blake Morgan and please accept our apologies for the delay in responding.

Having reviewed our needs and approach to selection for future intakes, we decided to only progress candidates to interview this year who expressed an interest in becoming a future Trainee within our Southampton office and we have now reached the quota of offers. Unfortunately, we will therefore not be progressing with your application on this occasion.
