    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I get where you're coming from but I suspect it's something technical (i.e. they're unable to "move" applications from one scheme to another so they're asking candidates instead to apply for the position again).

    Same! I've requested a copy of my results because I wonder if I actually did or not lol.

    I haven't heard back from either. I applied for WVS with both. I got my response straightaway but in a previous cycle, it took them 24+ hours to get back to me. I read on the forums that some people got responses even longer so don't sweat!

    NRF WG test for WVS! I'm not sure if everyone gets it or just some people but an exciting development nonetheless (you can tell how boring my day has been lol).

    Congratulations to all who have received Covington AC invites. Does anyone know if the firm is wrapping up ACs? I haven't heard back since submitting and losing hope lol.

    Does anyone know if there are any application writing resources here on TCLA? Sorry if this is a FAQ. I'm struggling to make my applications really tailored to each firm so would really appreciate if there's any guides/blogs/content on TCLA that can help with this. Thanks in advance...

    Sorry to hear that but at least you know! I'd rather have a quick turnaround than being in limbo for days/weeks/months like other firms do. Despite being a one-member team, I feel like Willkie has their whole recruitment process worked efficiently.

    Has anyone heard, or know any updates about A&O's 2024 TC app? Submitted a while back and passed the SJT but not heard anything yet :/

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jess, Hope your weekend has been well. This may be a FAQ but I wanted to know, how should candidates effectively answer the "Why us" question?

    Thank you! HSF is a tricky one. I thought I nailed everything in that application but clearly not lol. May also be dependent upon the scheme you applied for. I applied for the TC 2024 and passed the SJT, but I've heard nothing since.
