    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    CMS are doing my head in. Nearly 2 months now since my application. It feels like every other applicant has a WG or PFO after their application and I'm just left to sit and wait.

    Really? I can tell when I use grammarly because it hyphenates a lot of things it shouldn’t and puts too many commas in a sentence. It’s great for concise writing and spelling but I feel it hinders an application overall.

    I’m so annoyed with myself. The internet kept coming in and out so I’ve missed some of an app that I submitted. I also made a mistake on two of the dates of employment.

Vac scheme: Describe why you want to be a solicitor at Shoosmiths. Obviously, one mentions the solicitor role, and the other is a...

    HSF Spring VS PFO. I expected that tbh as it was one of my first apps that I know I didn't write very well.

    Anyone heard from Deloitte? They said 2 - 3 weeks post job simulation and it’s been over 3 weeks now without me hearing from them.
