TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

who else despises video interviews 🥲

just completed one, had unlimited time to prepare, and genuinely had (I think) great answers to all of them, but as soon as I'm recording i stutter, and lose my train of thought.

it's so annoying because i'd literally be fine if it wasn't recorded. i'm so good at interviewing in person or over zoom, just can't seem to face the camera

Something that helped me is blurring your screen so you can't see yourself

Has anyone still not heard a response from DLA after passing the VI ?

 

[jacksollaf]

on that note, has anyone heard anything from Slaughters for a while? I applied on the deadline, so I'm not holding my breath for an interview, but also haven't been rejected yet so.

I got rejected from Slaughter for their summer vacation scheme... applied on the 11th of October; and rejected on the 5th of December.

Has anyone heard from Morrison Foerster?

I got first round interview from MoFo in early April last year... obviously take it with a grain of salt but they def take a while to get back to you

Has anyone heard from HSF about the Summer VS and been invited to AC?

I applied on 30th November and took the SJT on 3rd December (I passed the benchmark).

Not sure if I should assume it’s a rejection.

me too !

 

[James Wakefield]

Does anyone find their applications get better/quicker as they go through the cycle? I feel like I’ve peaked in terms of writing them well and quickly, but most of the deadlines are gone/going!

 

[legal18]

Anyone heard from Taylor Wessing recently? Have they been progressing people to the written exercise?
