    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I applied last year and was invited to AC. The first test is like a mini game-based assessment, with questions like how to get from point A to point B with the least steps. The second test is to test emotional intelligence, asking what emotion the pictures show. I got around 60%-70% for both but...

    Flex Legal experience?

    I used to work on a 2 week document review project with people from Flex (I got the job from a different recruiter).

    Difference between compliance and legal jobs

    Hi Jessica, Sorry for the belated reply. To be honest I am not sure. I saw the job post on my university careers website and it just says 'internship programme'. But it has 3 stages, one written assessment and 2 interviews. So I'm guessing it is not going to be a short one.
