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

    I understand that they’ll most likely notice it. My point was that if I message them it might show to them that I am aware of my mistake.

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

    On my written application to Gateley, I spelt it as Gately instead of Gateley throughout my application. I think I mentioned their name 2 or 3 times. Would you suggest that I message them to let them know, or would that make it worse? I think this has probably ruined my chances completely...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Ah okay thankyou so much! And what do you mean automated system to filter out applicants? Do you mean like the personality tests etc? Because I thought they come after the firm has read the applications anyway?

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    A competency based interview is more situational, I.e. describe a time when you have led a team, or a time when you have resolved conflict. A strength based interview is more about you and your interests, e.g. what tasks make you feel energetic, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time...

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    I have received my timetable, and after the first few paragraphs it says, “Following this, you will be invited to a strengths based interview”. On the chart at the bottom it then says my interview date, which is nearly 2 weeks after my AC? Is this the strengths interview, or a separate interview?

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    Yeah I have done one before, for a firm similar to Kennedys. At my AC there were 8 people there on the day. However, there were 4 different time slots I could choose from, so I’m presuming 32 people in total (for the Northern TC). However, there was also a Southern TC, so I’m assuming theirs was...

    Have you confirmed your attendance? I.e replied to their email with a photograph passport and said you can attend?

    No, although I have received another email today confirming the details of my AC booking, but this was just the time and date of my AC (which I already had been told).

    DAC Beachcroft video interview

    Yes, this was definitely the case last year. However, don't count me on it for being the same this year.

    DAC Beachcroft video interview

    I am sure last year it was 90 seconds per question and there were four or five asked. I think maybe the question showed for approx 30 seconds on the screen and then you had 90 seconds to answer. There also wasn't a running clock between each question, so you could start the next question when...

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    Ah okay thankyou! I think last year, there was an extra step to qualify to the partner interview, so it wasn’t an automatic invite for everyone at the AC (I’m not too sure I may be wrong though). However, on the email it seems like it assumes that we’re all having that interview? I’m not...

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    So, usually as follows Kennedys has these stages, 1. Application stage, 2. VI, 3. AC, then 4. Partner interview. Do you know if there is an interview usually at the AC? Also, on my email it said that the interview will most likely be on a different day. Is this the same for you? Do you think...
