TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I have a question around mitigating circumstances if anyone can advise? Basically I'm not sure whether to mention my migraines as a mitigating circumstance.

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

In the sense that I've had about 8 part time jobs in the past 6 years, and they're all quite similar, but obviously all need their own section. for example 3 of my jobs were in 3 separate supermarkets.

Winter vs Spring vs Summer Vacation Schemes
From what I've read/been told, there should truly be no difference. As in chances of getting a TC out of them are largely the same no matter which one you do. It is possible that at some firms, winter and spring vacation schemes may be ever so slightly less competitive, purely due to people...- pepsicola96

Journey to a TC!
Hey everyone! I've been a long time lurker here, and thought I'd finally make an account and my own thread. It's still early days for me, but I'm going to be making my first vac scheme applications in the coming months, of course with the end goal of a TC. Like many of you, I will be trying to...- pepsicola96
