[QUOTE="Aela_Nox, post: 30897, member: 2141"] Hello all, Just wanted to share a quick update - I am absolutely delighted to say I have now secured a TC at a firm here in the North West! I start in September and I am extremely excited :) Just goes to show - grades are important but they can only go so far. I completed my LPC in 2017 and my grades for both LPC and my degree are less than stellar - scraped a 2:1 at uni and scraped a pass on the LPC. I have had plenty of resits. I was so worried my grades would hold me back but they did not. I also gained a lot of experience following the LPC and I believe it is my legal experience and my voluntary experience that ultimately nailed it :) Growth mindset is also really important - I had a half day assessment centre and then a formal interview and whilst I have let nerves get the better of me in previous ACs/interviews, I literally decided I was going to go and enjoy this and use it as an opportunity to socialise and sell myself. And it worked :) I found myself becoming more relaxed and very much in my element. People want to know about *you* - and just grades will not do that. There is much more to that. [/QUOTE]
