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

    From my experience, if they plan to progress you to the next stage it doesn't take them long to get in touch. Usually between one and two weeks, at least in my case. However, I believe that they take longer to reject you.

    Hi guys, with regards to this question: "Please outline your most significant achievement to date and how this was achieved? The example you choose can be from within or outside your academic career.", and specifically the "how was this achieved" part, does the firm want me to explain step by...

    For the Simmons and Simmons written exercise, should I worry for not pressing “continue” after completing it? I was automatically taken to the next page to move on with the video interview when the time ran out, but I remember that in the instructions it said to press “continue” so that my...

    Hi! Does anyone know if Addleshaw Goddard uses a Watson Glaser in their application process? I can't seem to locate information on their application process. And actually, is there a list of firms who use the Watson Glaser I can find somewhere?

    Hi guys, I am a bit confused with regards to listing my work experience. The application I am doing atm is asking me to list my experience in a chronological order, most recent first. I am not sure if I should list my experiences in an order based on their end dates? Or start dates? The...

    I don’t think they will push my start date as I am really supposed to start as soon as possible (in the next couple or so weeks up to a month tops) and the time I need off is in September

    I see, thank you. Would it make any difference if the time I want off is 3 weeks?

    Hi Jess, I hope you are well. I received an offer of employment at a london firm, and today I was emailed my contract. I should probably clarify that this is not for a training contract but rather a support role (administrator). I have some travel/holiday plans already in place for later on...

    I am going away at the end of this week for roughly about 2 weeks. But I also have told them that I have a part-time job so I assume they would take that into consideration about my start availability

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jess, I have this interview tomorrow that happened in an unusual way and I only found out about it today. From what I have been told, if I am successful they would ideally want me to start immediately. I have to be away for a bit and just wanted to ask you whether I should mention this...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I just had a call from a graduate recruiter at a law firm about a role she thinks I would be interested in, and it wasn't like an interview or anything but I was so surprised she called me and I was in the middle of an online session.... and so I feel like I blew it. I do think I sounded...

    It is actually for two roles I am currently applying for. One is paralegal and the other is admin - both have the same questions.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jess, I wanted to ask why do employers ask "what is your salary expectation" on application forms? Is it so that they can offer you less money if you say you expect less money compared to other candidates? I never know what to answer so sometimes I just put "competitive London rate" but I...
