[QUOTE="Akimbo001, post: 219668, member: 35174"] Hey everyone, I know this has been asked a couple of times on here, but not quite to my circumstances, so thought I would get your thoughts. I am working full time as a paralegal (in an unrelated, non-commercial field) whilst studying my conversion. I have only been working in this role for 3 months, so not years of legal experience under my belt (which I have heard is who direct TCs are really for). I also have 3 mini-pupillages - one in crime, one in public law, and one in commercial. I have no VS experience, but have been to a few open days. Do you think it's appropriate I apply for direct TCs in my situation? I would rather this option, since I am working full time, but obviously not if I don't stand a chance. I am certainly not closed off to applying to VSs, but time is limited. What do you guys think? Cheers! [/QUOTE]
