    Haha oh. I’m sure that it will still be for Spring - they probably only had capacity to take so many in the first AC. And yeah of course! ☺️

    Yeah I had mine on Tuesday - when’s yours? I assume they have a few ACs and do it in batches! Is yours for spring too?

    I think I was sent the link when I received my test invite from Bakers but A&O do the same test and their practice is here: https://assessment.weareamberjack.com/?sjtId=03cb2717-f30f-ec11-8177-0050568b1f1d&clientId=3cb57459-7570-e811-80eb-005056ac24ff

    Hey! Yeah - it’s Amberjack. It’s an SJT test that measures 4 traits (Grit, Applied Intellect, Creative Force and Digital Mindset) and your ability to select the best course of action in an email simulation.

    Congratulations! You only need one to go right and getting to interview is a serious achievement already ☺️ I can give some insight for their interviews. Is it for one of the Vac Schemes?

    I would say practice case study questions if you’re not used to them / haven’t done them before. I would also make sure you know the basics of terminology that could crop up (think finance terms, the M&A process and real estate considerations like planning, title restrictions...

    Yes! All very positive and received an offer. Main points were: Confident in interview and good arguments / considerations / structure in the written exercise (I broke up the email into main points and really treated it like an actual business email). I’d recommend being as concise as...

    I would avoid that being your main point if you’re explicitly asked to look beyond this. A lot of firms have a global element and you can imagine this is something a lot of people state to be a selling point. Equally, if it’s Dentons’ biggest selling point, almost every application would talk...

    Hey! Happy to share my experience. For Clifford Chance the AC structure is a brief introduction, a written exercise (40 ish minutes) an interview (75 mins) and then a group exercise (30 mins) In the written exercise there was a case study we had to read and address what the main issues...

    You usually get a few weeks’ notice so there will be plenty of time to prepare! My soonest post interview has been 3 weeks and my longest about 8 weeks! Good luck with your first cycle 😊

    Hi! Is this for a particular firm/firms? It would be easier to get an accurate answer if you know which firms 😊

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    They recruit after their deadline and will look at applications after this. I will say a lot of firms that do this still look at applications in date order however so applying as soon as you can is usually the best practice.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Usually firms are only interested if you’ve applied for a VS/TC as they don’t want to repeat screen you if they had a certain reason for not progressing you application previously. They will ask what is different in your current application / what has changed to assess this. I would say no if...

    Hi! Can anyone give any Jones Day Assessment Centre insights such as what kind of group task you had to do and what the interview involved? I have had interviews and ACs with Clifford Chance, Osborne Clarke and Baker McKenzie if I can help in return! 😊

    I don’t think very far so don’t worry! Plenty of time 😊 I only know as I spoke to a member of recruitment not long ago and know some people received PFOs post-test (believe they applied in late March and early April) Haven’t heard of anyone getting VIs yet so likely they are waiting for more...
