    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I am sorry for the rejection but I do not think you can still apply to the Winter Workshop. It might be worth chasing HR and ask them directly just to be sure. I understand the frustration of not being able to pass the application stage at a firm you really want. What I would suggest is to ask...

    Hogan Lovells - Winter Vacation Scheme 2023

    Hi @mc98, I totally understand your confusion as it is a pretty open-ended question for sure. The way I always approached questions like this was to think about facts, professional experiences and/or extracurricular activities that I have not mentioned in the application and that could...

    Linklaters - Winter Vacation Scheme 2023

    Hi @al97 I honestly cannot remember whether that was usual or not, I remember the application being very short but I do not remember this aspect, it would be worth messaging graduate recruitment just to be on the safer side.

    Hey @babylawyer1942 I think it would be important for you to write a new application to showcase how much you have grown, learned and achieved since the last interaction with the firm last year. This is due to three important considerations: You present yourself as a new candidate. In fact, it...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    This is an interesting question that many firms tend to ask and I understand the difficulty in answering this question. I myself struggled immensely in replying to this question when I was applying last year. However, along the way I tried to use a structure that worked for me that consisted of...

    Hi @Ali A, thank you so much for reaching out and thank you for your question which I think can be useful for many people on the thread. In my opinion it is worth applying to a vacation scheme compared to a direct training contract for three main reasons: 1. Despite your experience in a law...

    No worries at all! Whenever it comes to this question I would stick to a three pointers answer highlighting: 1. A practice area that you are extremely interested and that the firm excels at (ALWAYS making sure to link your interest back to your personal or professional or academic experiences)...

    That's exactly what I would have said, thank you so much @sophie98, i think this is such a great piece of advice! @ab01 I personally believe it depends on the firms you are applying to but if you think of the fact that vacation schemes are easier to get than training contracts, then it is clear...

    Congratulations! I would say for VI it is important to: - Treat it like a real interview so dress smart-casual, neutral background, focus on looking at the camera and try to be as natural as possible. - Have a cheat sheet with the values of the companies and the reasons why you are applying to...

    You could also tell an innovative approach you showed when tackling a task during an internship or professional experience, or during a group project at university, I feel like things like this also work in showing your entrepreneurial spirit. Good luck with HL application! @livrobertson

    I think it would be worth reapplying with a new application. This would enable you to create new answers and convey your points across in a new and innovative way, always with the knowledge of having done a good application previously. I hoe that this helps, good luck with everything! @gggg
