    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    This is such a good question, I hope that they are assisted, not only professionally but most importantly mentally, because this is not an easy situation to be in. I heard that they are getting professional support to look for a new job but I do not know if every firm that rescinded offers is...

    I am currently doing the PGDL too and I totally agree with how badly the marking is explained. It is so difficult to understand what to do to achieve a good grade. I think that what I gathered from my experience is, when it comes to problem questions, you want to be able to identify the...

    The news was very surprising to many but I feel like it is something that law firms with a huge intake will use as a way to cut down on trainees. It is so sad that students are basically sold a dream (some of them in their first year) to then be dropped as soon as they do not pass a test which...

    I would personally email them as they probably were very busy around that time. It might be that your result is still under review because they are comparing you to other candidates too though, so that is worth keeping into account. But you can reach out once more, emphasising how you have not...

    It really depends on what the law firm wants you to do and the structure they want you use, but generally speaking the executive summary will serve as an initial introduction to the memo. However, it it depends on what they told you. Try to respect everything that they suggest you should do...

    I would include the specific documents they ask for, do not add documents for the sake of it as they will not read it. If they ask for CV only, just send the CV.

    You can definitely ask first as it is your right to know. I would just say that many firms will not help you in these circumstances. Others will offer to put people in a hotel (like my firm) so asking is the best course of action. Chances are that even if they cannot support you financially...

    I would do this after you get an offer if you can. However, this happened to me with a firm last year and I asked before the assessment but I ended up not doing the interview in the end so potentially you could also let them know now. However, you never know they might not be open to it, it is...

    I think that it should be no more than 1,5/2 pages and based on the information you are giving. It is important to focus on the relevant facts of the matter, without losing yourself in the irrelevant details. Make sure your grammar and structure are impeccable as those are things that the...

    It is really difficult to gauge how this came off not being in the room but I personally think that if you did not have anything to add it is totally fine for you to not add anything. I agree with you, it is better not to ramble in these situations, you might say too much and potentially lose...

    That is really good! The video interviews was something I used to be bad at too, combined with the watson glaser too. My advice with issues like this is that you need to know yourself. If you feel like these forms of assessments are severly hindering your chances, I would start focusing on...
