    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    You can but I would personally leave it since you have provided them with the information they asked. I understand it might be a bit frustrating but it is nobody's fault and I would try to not disturb them too much. You might want to say that you can still see your grades from your end but I...

    Did you also include your extra-curricular activities in the work experience section? If not, it would be worth going into detail about them here in my opinion. I use to include only actual internships in my work experience section so I had still extra-curricular experiences to talk about so I...

    I think the way I would approach the question is: Choose an example that allows you to talk extensively about the question and your experience in client service. This can be a corporate position but also waitressing or working in a shop, even those experiences will be very good examples for...

    I personally would leave, I am sure they can see you and everything was fine. I would email them only if your laptop crashed during the assessment which does not seem to be the case. I am sure that everything is fine!

    I think you can but if you are worried about repetition, I would personally try to find another example as good as the one you are thinking of and go with that one to be safe than sorry. I struggled with finding good examples too when I was applying and I often wanted to use the same experiences...

    Attending your first vacation scheme is definitely something to be proud of but I totally understand the anxiety surrounding it as I was completely lost when I attended my first one as a first time applicant as well. Some tips that I can share are: Make sure you have done your due diligence...

    With such a limited amount of words, I would go straight to the points with you answers, immediately replying to the exact question without adding unnecessary wording. If the questions ask you about your motivations for a career in law or the firm, I would stick to a 2 reasons why answer...

    Yes, chances are you might not need it or they will give you everything that you need but I would say to bring as much paper as you can since you want to be prepared.

    I do not think it makes a difference especially if they provide both. Choose what suits you best and what format do you think you might thrive in more. It really is a matter of choosing what you personally want if they give you this chance.

    I personally treated the work experience a bit different and I tended to describe my tasks and the skills developed without going too much into details. I think the work experience is different from the why you question so keep it a bit more professional, describing the tasks and the skills...

    Hey @Vic.99, In that case I would not focus on the quantity of experiences or skills but choose a couple and dive deeper into why those experiences and skills developed make you the best candidate. This will allow you to talk about yourself and the most important skills that you feel...

    Help with writing a cover letter for a non-law student

    As a non-law student myself when I was applying last year I found it really hard to explain my interest in the law and make it come off as genuine. However, I found out that expressing your real reasoning as to why you want to become a lawyer is what works best. I usually said this: ''I want to...
