[QUOTE="Zahra, post: 4650, member: 1065"] Hey guys! I've done the BPTC and my CV so far has everything Bar related i.e. debating experience, mooting experience, Inns of Court scholarships and mini-pupillages. I am now considering applying for a TC for various reasons, but I'm not too sure where to start. I have a couple of questions, and was just wondering if anyone would be willing to share some guidance/their experience: [LIST=1] [*]how did you decide on which firms to apply to? [*]what factors in particular would you advise I should consider when choosing a firm? [*]I understand that with TC applications it's better to focus on a few rather than many (with the Bar, the more applications the better). Please correct me if I'm wrong.If so, how many applications are advisable? [*]How do you stay commercially aware? [*]Would you happen to know of anyone who has done the BPTC and then switched routes? If so, did they have to do the LPC? [*]Given my background – do you feel I would have a hard time justifying to law firms why I switched routes? If so, would you have any advice on how I should approach the TC? [*]Would you happen to know whether firms do video interviews for TC or whether attending AC's is compulsory – I’ve just started a new job and I can’t personally afford to fly back for interviews. [*]When adding in the sections for work experience, how many would you recommend? [*]Any other general advice you may have and how I can build myself up so I can land a TC. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
