Despite studying computer science at university, I secured a training contract for a magic circle law firm.
In this video, I share some of the things I did to secure the TC!

Hey guys, let me know where you are in your legal journeys. I want to know more law students / future trainee solicitors!

In my second year of uni with a TC from CC

I am in my final year LLB. Looking at training contracts now.

[@LoisMoodie]

Having a healthy mindset will always bring forth the best outcomes in life, and I'm glad that you are emphasising this point in this video. Keep on going, Sean.😊

[@mistamontero]

Thank you, I appreciate it ☺️

[@Penguinracer]

Congratulations Mista! Well done! You're an inspiration & you message about believing in yourself in the face of many rejections is a powerful one.

[@oluwatoniabdul2725]

Thank you for this. Really needed it

[@maxwellhunter8642]

Yes! More law videos please. We need a legal influencer like you 😌

[@mistamontero]

Well, my channel is now about legal journey, so there will be plenty of new content that will be right down your street

[@mercy-constanceaturu7030]

What's your advice to international students looking to come to the UK to get a PGDL. Do you think they have a shot at getting a Training Contract?

[@sanchiaobi18]

Congratulations! I have a question: Nevermind, the personal growth you achieved through your somewhat turbulent path to law, do you ever wish you just took the law undergrad instead of an extra year for the GDL?

[@mistamontero]

Haha! To answer your question, no I don’t wish I studied law at undergrad. I’d rather do it as a conversion course for a shorter amount of time.

[@MsStarface123]

Are you firm sponsoring you to do GDL first and if so how did you go about obtaining that?

[@juliennejoseph4475]

Awesome content! Did you have a vacation scheme or did you get a training contract right away?

[@mistamontero]

Thanks! I did a vacation scheme!

[@moannanewington1480]

Hi, really great vid! Did you mention previous failed applications in your successful application? In terms of challenges you overcame etc. I'm struggling with what to write regarding challenges I have faced in my applications, please help!

[@mistamontero]

Hey there, nope I didn’t. If you have to talk about struggles consider a structure like: context, action, result.

[@lr2ldn]

I don't have a law background (I start this Autumn) but I struggle on Forage with the virtual schemes because I don't have a law background. How did you navigate through that? Thank you!

[@Numbll]

I want to know that too!

[@romilbagrecha7869]

Could you please tell me whether an Indian qualified lawyer is eligible for the training contracts/vacation schemes in UK law firms?

[@Giri_632]

Would you mind sharing how you prepped for assessment centres please?

Would you consider having a call with me to go over my application for a magic circle?!

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

Black privilege and minorities quotas. That’s how sad this is.

[@Sam-sp3nc]

This man is sitting here with his future set up after working hard and you’re here being racist with 2 subscribers. Get a life

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

@@Sam-sp3nc the only racist thing is the reason why he got employed in the first place. If you even think this guy got in a magic circle firm with no law experience at all for any other reason than minority quotas, then you need to get your head out of your ass mate and get a reality check.

[@Black.Sabbath]

​@@Sam-sp3nc You know it's true.

[@MsStarface123]

Minorities quotas don’t cover the people who have ACCESS to these jobs? Even if there is a quota the likelihood of a diverse application pool is slim - not everyone can afford paying for further education/has contacts. People work their arse off for a seat at the table just for stupid comments like this.

@@MsStarface123 You couldn't be more ill informed. I can tell you've never worked in the industry. So keep your irrelevant opinion to yourself and get some experience. Once you've done that, you'll realise a lot of things.
