    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    If I applied to a firm last year and got progressed past application stage should I start this years application completely from scratch? I've updated it a fair amount and redrafted all the work experiences etc. but 2 of my 3 motivations for applying to the firm remain the same.

    for the HSF app where it says 'introduce us to a topic you know about and why it interests you' what kind of thing would I include here, it sounds stupid but I've forgotten all my interests lol

    You forgot that you’d be told you lack innovation and problem solving skills relying on dated approaches

    such a stupid question - HSF ask what year you did your university modules i.e. 2017,2018,2019 etc do I put when I started it or when I finished because technically it's different?

    I wonder if A&O are adopting the same system as previous years - where your application will only be reviewed if you've passed the SJT? This year I haven't even had an acknowledgment of my SJT being completed never mind an outcome

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Evening all, I have just attended a really great webinar (with General Assembly), focussing on high performance and failure. I thought considering how tough the process has been I might share some of the points that were shared, just in case they might help anyone. We are what we do...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I've never had to submit a CV for a TC application before and I was wondering if I could get some advice. Currently I have a very nice template that is aesthetically pleasing and represents my personality a bit more. It's super professional, but the whole cv is in colour and a design platform...

    BCLP have got two situational questions - I'm just wondering how to approach these. 1. In your first 3 months as a trainee at BCLP, who would you seek to build relationships with, and what strategies would you implement to ensure that these relationships are long lasting? (300 words) 2...

    I did the TI so I can give some insight, It was a typical phone interview, they seemed really nice and generally questions were expected considering the nature of the firm. I really wouldn't over think it. I didn't pass and I genuinely think it's because I wasn't very conversational because I...

    Out of interest why does it annoy you that L&W and CC are representing the European super league?

    Bakers WG is timed from what I remember but I don’t think they time the instructions. It was very similar to NRFs when I did it earlier this year. From what I’ve been told they have a relatively fair benchmark - personally I’ve passed their WG twice and I’m not the most confident on it.
