TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[Naskimovski]

Hi everyone! Has anyone heard back from Baker Mckenzie ? I haven't gotten an invitation to complete their online assessment

 

[AnAnonymousDuck]

has anyone else applied to fried frank's TC? if so, does anyone know what the word limit is supposed to be for the questions? The cover letter entry states a 500 word limit but there is no mention for the other 3 questions. There also isn't a maximum word entry in the boxes. I figured the best is just to go for the standard 300 limit but does anyone have any further insight?

Does anyone know what is kingsley napleys tc application process/stages? Been trying to look on their website but it doesn’t seem to be mentioned!

Withers PFO. I now feel maybe it's better not to apply for DTC with no legal experience? Confused again.

Sorry about this . If you don’t mind me asking when did u do the test?

On your point, I think it depends from firm to firm and loads of people progress without any legal experience in some firms and some firms may require legal experience! It’s worth a shot to apply anyways.

Have received the feedback report. Nothing further.

Has anyone heard back from Brabners post SJT and interview for Vac scheme applications not DTC application?

It's hard to get legal experience. I wouldn't be completely discouraged, honestly. Still, checking with firms should help.

Bm test for direct tc

 

[Chris Brown]

Both myself and Breezy have just received the online test invite for Baker McKenzie DTC.

Does anyone know whether the VI is part of the online test or if it’s a separate stage?​

Not automatic. I applied on 22 Dec, and I have never received the test. Today I got the pfo email

 

[Jay29]

no not yet- does anyone know what time in April Baker McKenzie sends out their online assessments to successful applicants?

Just got mine today

Shoosmiths like to send everyone their verdict within 30 mins of each other.

Usually at 4pm or so on the day they give you.

I know they said within two weeks and it's only been one week, but I just can't wait anymore 😂 Did anyone hear back from King & Spalding post-AC?

How did you find the AC? And don’t say “using Google Maps”! Where else are you applying to?
