    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Okay I am completely lost with the SJTs. Just finished my final one for the season which was with Womble Bond. Does anyone know how Grad Rec decides which report goes forward and which one does not? I assume that everyone is going to have weak points and strengths so how do they decide...

    I don't have a full time/part time job at the minute. But I am doing regular volunteer work (weekly). I finished my final assignment in September but officially graduated in Jan. I've only had interviews for jobs. I've been "promised" positions but nothing materialises because as tough as the...

    Preciate it. Have you previously taken an internship with M&R? If so I'm just trynna be like you. Can't lie I think I messed the Online Test. Had some good traits but they said I needed to improve on some areas more - not a fantastic showing but if its enough to get the AC then I can't complain.

    All the best and fingers crossed bro. I'm sure you've done well enough. They're some really good firms to be noticed by.

    Hey, I think they'll get back to you mid march. Depending on how far you have progressed with their application. What stage are you up to? I say this because I'm still at the Mills Reeve Online test stage for the 10kBi cohort. They said I should receive a reply by then because of "internal checks".

    Thanks for updating! I'm interested in how the assigning of applications to firms work? Mine were all East Anglia Based - 2 Private Practice and 1 In house. I'm based in the east midlands which was mentioned in my CV so I think they connect us with firms through that?

    Like what you’ve said. Super interesting. Are there any firms you think have “worked well” with diversity? From your experiences and friends of course. From what I’ve gathered the firms with bigger cohorts and “reputation” tend to do better. In terms of having a good amount and a strong...

    Travers was about diversity. This claim about their culture should be taken very lightly. But a close friend informed me about what they heard about the culture and former employees experiences. I digged through glassdoor and there were a few comments about this, in particular r*cism some...

    What’s the BCLP rep?! I thought it was quite an interesting firm that I missed out on applying for. The firms I’ve heard “bad rep” about is Slaughters, Kirkland, and Travers. Then again every firm has a bad quality about it. Also some of the complaints make me laugh. The pay complaint in particular.

    Ah where else did you apply? Funnily enough Mishcon was going to be my main firm for application season but the competition is too much so I backed out. Glad I did after I found out a Trainee is the child of one of the staff high up in the firm. I applied for: Bates Wells MR BDB Linklaters -...

    If you go to the website where you application is stored. The log in for careers at Fieldfisher. It will show the application you submitted and its status. I don't want to say that's what their verdict is. It just shocked me that an update like that had been made without me knowing. I only...

    Has anyone applied through 10K Black Interns? If so which firms and what has been the update? Mine has been Mills and Reeve and BDB Pitmans. I'm annoyed because Mills & Reeve say I have to wait till mid February - March! I applied all the way back in November.

    Ah ffs. Thanks for the reassurance. I'm pretty confident that it means my application is in the bin. Especially since the firm recieves just over 700 apps and it's the city. I imagine they don't have that much patience for someone messing up so soon. Sucks. It's been the firm I've enjoyed...

    I’ve had a mare with my Bates Wells application. My 1st app for the VS this year had replicated info for one of my Volunteer Experiences. As in, I used the same Info for one volunteer experience in another one I mentioned. I emailed kindly, GradRec said if I want to deleted the app to submit...
