    Choosing a TC start date

    Hi everyone! Super pleased to say that after completing my winter vac scheme, I have been offered a TC at a firm that I really like! I have (very surprisingly) been offered TC start dates in 2023, I have the option of either March or September. The thing that makes this choice difficult for me...

    Applied for Clifford Chance Direct TC 2023 start, was sent the WG link last week and today got an email saying they're putting my application on hold and will let me know if they'd like to take it further in the Spring 🤷‍♀️ first time I've seen this

    I applied for their Spring VC and got a WG I think a week or so after I applied. And then I did the WG and have heard nothing for weeks now

    Applied for Hogan Lovells summer vac 3 weeks ago and heard nothing yet (no WG link or anything), do they only send those out after the deadline? Same with Bird and Bird, been more than 2 weeks since I did the WG test.

    HSF Vacation Scheme

    Heya! So for this one I used it as a chance to talk about my extracurriculars. I have a passion for gender equality and women's rights, so I talked about why it was a topic that mattered to me and what I've done so far to be involved, i.e. volunteering with charities over the years, founding the...

    HSF Vacation Scheme

    Hey YB, congratulations! When I interviewed with HSF it was all virtual, and instead of case study + scenario + competency, they did two scenario interviews - so I can only advise on the scenario and competency portions. The scenario exercises are a good opportunity to show off your commercial...

    Ah sorry it was for Spring! I applied around end of Oct I think. Maybe they haven't got around to reviewing the Summer apps yet.

    Rejected for Bristows IP workshop post VI 😩 I have to say none of my video interviews seem to have gone well lately. I follow basic VI tips but it's just hard to speak well when you have such a restricted timeframe

    Is this for the Winter scheme? Just wondering if they only send the WG invites after the application deadline has passed

    Quite surprising to me they are doing ACs in the office, I still see quite a lot of firms saying they will do the ACs virtually.

    I think it was definitely a big thing last year, where they explicitly came out and said they're not accepting anyone past their penultimate year of study. But the impression I get is that the 2023 TCs would be open to grads / career changers, I remember going to one of their events this year...

    Got it thanks! So I basically use it as evidence of my commitment to a career in law? Just a bit unsure how to spin it as obviously I've not done the scheme yet so can't talk about it as work experience
