    Season 1 Finale! In this final episode of our first season, we answer a dilemma from a listener who is finishing year 11 and is ready to start her legal journey. We advise on things we wish we'd have known back then, what we'd change or regret about our own journeys, and why your future goals/pathway shouldn't be set in stone. We share our top tips and advice on how to approach a legal career from this age/sixth form, and the 'musts' you need to be doing. Finally, we touch upon our own personal and career goals for the next 5 years, as well as the next steps for the podcast itself. We hope you've enjoyed Season 1, thank you so much for the support and feedback, and we'll see you in Season 2 - The Guest Season!

    Your full guide to acing a Training Contract Assessment Centre. In this episode we share our experiences of Assessment Centres, what we did right, and also what we did wrong (learn from our mistakes!). We go into depth about interviews, group tasks, presentations, and written in-tray exercises - we've both had experience of in-person AC's and virtual ones too, so all bases are covered. Finally we touch upon those competitive vibes from certain candidates on the day, how to deal with them, and how not to fall into the trap of being one of them. Wishing you all the best of luck in gaining your Training Contracts!
