    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I’m pushing 30 (5 months to go) so you’ve got 2-3 years on me! The competition is insane so don’t take it too personally (hard to do, I know.)

    So I was accepted onto Linklaters OD but they didn’t receive my 3(!) emails confirming details - and now have rejected me as they’re full! I’ve sent them proof I responded but they say they have no spaces left so can’t do anything which is disappointing. Pretty annoyed rn..!

    Anyone going to linklaters OD tomorrow? Their email said to give your travel arrangements and they would sort but I haven’t heard anything back from them?

    Don’t believe so unless they specifically state it - people aren’t accepted on Open Days for all sorts of reasons unrelated to skills and experience 👍🏻

    I felt HSF’s report was way off, especially compared to other SJT results I’ve had - similar to you I chose answers that contradicted the report so not sure how they rate answers 👎🏻

    For anyone who has done HSF SJT do you feel your feedback report was accurate? Mine almost entirely conflicts with my actual experience in FT employment / academics 😂

    *couldn’t care less Also, your poor attitude towards others (strangers no less!) will shoot you in the foot a hundred times more than an email to grad recruitment will.

    My strengths were resilience and excellence, weakness leadership preference (having hated being a manager I wasn’t too surprised by that lol!)
