TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
All depends on: 1) What is the VSs' conversion rates? 2) Are the DTCs rolling/non-rolling? 3) When are the Vacation Schemes happening? 4) How long would you have to write the apps? I'd try to do both since it's not necessarily a given you'll convert the VSs.- Tintin06

Thoughts on the graduate apprenticeship route? Running out of TC applications here. Are they much harder to get? Just started thinking about this option. Also anything from Hogan Lovells today? Would also like to manage expectations. What are my chances with HL? A few VSs and work experiences...- Tintin06

Many paralegals also don't get interviews. For example, a previous Vac Scheme. There was one paralegal doing it. Other two applied but no dice. So paralegals aren't always successful.- Tintin06

The rank order questions seemed OK. I never know with sliding questions. How far should you slide idk? Went as well as I expected. Reasoning questions were a mixed bag. Never passed a Cappfinity test before. Not hopeful about this one either.- Tintin06

I'd say focus on their values. There's not much else to do. There was a good video once. It was top 10 trainee skills. Paul Gascoyne made it, IIRC. I don't know where it's gone. This video could be helpful though. I do think being consistent helps. Especially on those sliding answer questions.- Tintin06

Very few TCs to be fair. Plus they have no vac scheme. Lots of good firms still open. White & Case open until July. I’m sure that we’ll get there.- Tintin06

Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Not a law graduate but still. It's been a tough few months. Go follow Kate Green on LinkedIn. She could help with paralegal jobs. Running out of patience quite possibly. Also running out of firms lol. Hopefully HL has some positive news.- Tintin06
