    Thank you! Had another interview today (but they will get back to me before the deadline of the offer, I understand) so we'll see what happens. But now the pressure's off!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    If a firm asks you why you weren't successful on a vacation scheme, how should you answer it?

    AFAIK they are recruiting for both at the same time. I could be wrong though. Your best bet is to email grad rec.

    I have my final round interview with Wedlake Bell on Monday. Had my first round interview on the 8th July. I think they are still actively interviewing though.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Thanks as usual Jessica. I agree with you as I definitely got that vibe. But I'm still struggling with the outcome a little bit as I really tried hard to show my enthusiasm for the area since I did study there for a long time and now have a number of substantial connections to the point that I...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Feeling quite disgruntled about the feedback I received from my only summer vacation scheme (rejection). They said my work was detailed and thorough and that I was competent and would make a great trainee but said I was insufficiently enthusiastic about working in the office in which the scheme...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Was it worth applying to Hogan Lovells? I just submitted mine a few days back and am wondering if putting all that effort into a Direct TC was worth it.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Currently having the most surreal week ever. Haven't heard back from my one VS yet (but snooping on my fellow vac schemers on linkedin suggests they haven't got offers or rejections either) but have received two separate interview invites from different firms. I already had two direct TC...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    It's just hard to know, because despite being a relatively confident person in real life, so far all my success with law firms has been virtual, well-practised and restrained. I think I'm more worried that I might be too much!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Also for any of you guys with super duper social skills, I've been given a chance to go into the office in person for one day of my virtual VS as the team I'm sitting with has decided to do a trial run of heading back in. Do you have any tips for *shudder* real life networking? It'll only be the...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Tbh if you've been waiting a while it is always worth emailing to find out what's going on. I once got an interview invite within hours of emailing to ask what had happened to my application!

    I emailed KN's graduate recruitment team this morning, and they said they are aiming to respond to everyone by early next week as they are just finalising applications now.

    Converting your vacation scheme into a training contract - top tips in 2021

    My virtual vacation scheme next week does not have an exit interview, so I know the quality of the work I produce will play an important role in determining whether I am made an offer (alongside social skills etc). This might sound like a vague question but how can I ensure that it is all of a...
