    I wonder if A & L Goodbody are actually taking on anyone, had an interview with McCann Fitzgerald also a few weeks ago and heard nothing back.

    Just after getting call from A and L, said they had planned on calling around yesterday. I'd imagine they are calling everyone today. Keep the faith everyone, I've gone through a few milkrounds without getting anything and I have a couple of offers this time around

    Hi all.

    Great thread.

    Just trying to figure a few things out. So if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

    Do you need to have all your fe1's completed before you can apply for a traineeship in the top firms?

    If you were to do the FE1 exams in March and October 2013, can you apply to the firms in September 2013? Then if you get a traineeship when do they usually start?

    Thanks in advance

    While having your FE1's (probably) increases your chances of getting an offer; you can and should apply before you have them.

    The dates you actually do the FE1's are irrelevant, provided you have passed them before the start of your training period.

    You apply to the larger law firms for interviews around December every year (dates vary) -- you have missed the "milk round" as it's called for 2011/2012, so your next chance to applly will be at the end of 2012.

    If you get a traineeship, there can be up to an 18 month delay before starting -- i.e. if you get it in the December 2013 interview process, you could wait until June 2015 to start in-office training.

    ---

    This only applies to the larger firms. With smaller firms or sole practitioners there can be a lot more flexibility.

    Are all these interviews for jobs on the basis that the person will be entering Blackhall this September?

    This is very off-topic, and I feel stupid asking, but are there any firms in Limerick which offer TCs?

    Yes indeed, there are. Holmes, O'Malley Sexton recruit every year, as do many other firms. Keep an eye on the lawsociety website but it wouldn't hurt to offer to intern at one of the limerick firms, if that is financially possible

    I was thinking the same, i'd go long ways for an interview/traineeship but I dont think I could live in Boyle/Sligo.

    It can't hurt to go over and check them out. At worst, it's a good chance to hone your interview technique. Plus, you still get a few months in Dublin on PPC1 and 2, if you train there.
    The other side is obviously, whether you could live there for 3 plus years.
    It's hard not to chase every traineeship but 3 years with the wrong people or wrong place would be very hard.
    Still you never know until you go.

    So, having registered a new account (if anyone finds the password for my 6-post "OBSC" username, do shout), I'm wondering if there's a new 2012 thread?

    Yes, it's that time of year again..
