    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I don’t even blame them either. Trainees are going to very busy people and helping a stranger try and advance on an application is a lot of effort unless you’ve already got a connection or built some rapport with them.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I stumbled upon this on TikTok and wondered if this post was actually accurate as it strikes me as somewhat forced/inane? I’m not disputing that 1, 3, and 5 are good points, I just think 2 and 4 are weird. How will connecting with graduate recruitment on LinkedIn help you at all? They’re not...

    For anyone who did a VI with W&C, how long did it take you to hear the outcome after you'd completed it?

    Someone please correct me if I'm being stupid, but is a full service law firm just a firm that has the main City practice areas (i.e. one that has a corporate, banking, employment, tax, real estate etc), rather than a specialist or niche firm (i.e. one that only specialises in family or criminal)?

    I think they do ACs while still handing out offers if I’m not mistaken?

    I don’t think any firms give feedback after the VI stage, apart from generalised feedback.

    I had a friend who applied to W&C last cycle and they took over a month post-AC. I think they’ve still got a lot of summer ones to get through and they seem to drag through until April with ACs so imagine it could be a while!

    I’ve seen a few on here but hoping they scatter them out. I just wish they all did PFOs/next stages at the same time 😭

    My cycle now rests on NRF, who appear to have handed out all TIs? 😭😭 Is there anyone who still hasn’t heard anything from them to help put me out of my misery?

    Like this if you still haven’t heard from Mishcon. Am gradually losing hope :(

    If we haven’t heard from Mishcon, should we presume a PFO at this stage? Really disappointed as they’re my favourite firm :(

    Still trying to get over my mortifying interview experience earlier this week, so wondered if anyone else had their own embarrassing interview stories to share for us all to have a collective laugh/it may be somewhat therapeutic :)

    I spilt an entire glass of water over myself at an AC yesterday during my interview and I would still rather relive that experience than have to see another post from RonRod.

    Thank you! It was honestly like a comedy sketch and will probably never live it down. Ah well, at least I’ll always have a funny story to pull out if needs be? But hope that goes to show everyone that things can always go much, much worse!
