    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I would email them to ask updates as it seems to be that it is a bit unusual since both rejections and offers have been sent out. I would also check my spam email just to confirm you have not receive anything from them!

    This will not be an issue, I did forget to submit many times last year when I was applying and it was fine!

    This is a good problem to have as far as problems with application cycles goes and congratulations for obtaining two offers this is amazing!! I personally would do what you suggested and ask the second firm to move you to another date for their vacation scheme, or, alternatively, to consider...

    I would personally mention three skills, explain why they are important and link them back to an experience where I have demonstrated them. I would be mindful of the word count and so if you need more words I would only mention two skills which you think are more important. As long as you...

    The way I always tackled this question was: Talking about where I come from (especially if you are international or you have been raised outside of the UK as it is a good conversation starter) My educational background (so what I studied, why I studied it, briefly touching upon my interests)...

    That is what I did personally so I probably would recommend that but associates are fine too but they are very busy most of the time so they might not even respond to you, but if there is someone you are interested in talking I would suggest to message them and see.

    Hey, I do not see any issue with it providing that you explain how you find the contact, who you are and why you are emailing. I do not know if the firm will be okay with it or not though, so I would potentially ask graduate recruitment if you can do that. I personally tried to speak to...

    HOW TO DEAL WITH REJECTIONS? Rejections seem to be an inevitable part of the process that everybody, at some point, will experience. Although they are very difficult to face, especially as many applicants are high-achievers in the legal industry, they can teach us so much. They contribute to...

    I think it might have a negative impact to a certain degree but it is difficult to say without having been in the interview since you might have redeemed yourself with all the other answers. I think there is no point in dwelling over an answer at this point, you have sat the interview and you...

    You could but in that question they ask you to mention all the open days, something that you will probably not do it in the cover letter so I would say they are a bit different. When I applied to the firm I personally only highlighted events in that question and in the cover letter I mainly...

    It may be a genuine interest but I could see how someone might think you rehearsed the answer a little bit so I would keep the answer personal to you, you definitely have to show a different side to you and I would highlight that. The way I see it is that you are showing your interest in the...

    Hey @trackstar1364, First of all congratulations on securing both vacation schemes, those are amazing firms and you should be so proud of you! Since you already asked Weil, I would just ask them to move you as if they did not want to move you they would have said it but they confirmed that...

    I would email today or tomorrow as you also need to give them time to reply and reschedule if possible, the later you do this, the later it will be harder for them to do in my opinion.
