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

    Glad I'm not the only one! I'm just really confused with the process. I've been involved with literally none of the group sessions they were supposed to have. Someone else on the course I DM'd privately and he said the only two initial sessions were cancelled anyway - heard nothing after that.

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

    Has anyone ever been a past or present application of a Strive programme at all? I was accepted onto their Supernova programme about 5/6 months ago. The initial recruitment was quick with response, but they then told me the days they had sessions had changed and so I explained I couldn't do...

    Is this Fieldfisher? If so, around 2 weeks I believe!

    For sure! Totally agree with your point. I think it's simply because at the moment, I'm studying my MA, working two jobs whilst looking for another because I need a job change, and just trying to keep on top of everything. Very overwhelming, but just taking my time with applications!

    It is indeed! To be fair, I only heard back because I emailed for an update (and also to enquire about their VS, too). Still going ahead with a VS application anyway; no harm in trying after all! Good luck :)

    Rejection from a direct TC from SMB. Kind of losing motivation for anything law-related right now.

    Thank you! It's interesting to hear from other peoples' backgrounds and legal interests, but I see so few about media and entertainment.

    Entertainment/Media Law 2021/2022/2023

    Thank you for this! I had a quick look and I'm not sure it 100% matches my criteria as I'm in Manchester and have little legal work experience unfortunately, but it does sound like a very cool job. I'll mention to others who I know are interested in that area too :)

    PFO from Myerson's. Disappointed as I really liked the firm, but never mind, next year.

    Back here again, this time feeling like I've got a better prepared list of firms to apply for. Some for 2023, but within this next academic cycle - the rest for 2024. Not putting so much pressure on myself to get a TC. The last cycle that just finished was my first, and I know I'm capable...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I personally think not providing any feedback after getting to the interview stage is ridiculous. I literally just mentioned something similar about Fieldfisher. It was myself and 4 others who got to the final hurdle, and all 4 other applicants had a TC offer. I asked for feedback as they...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Little bit annoyed at the fact Fieldfisher never got back to me in regards to feedback. They advised that I could arrange a session with them by the end of last month with the notes from the partners that I interviewed with, yet I've heard complete radio silence since. Just frustrating as I'd...

    Technically yesterday, yes lol. I just received the generic email. I wouldn't be too panicked, they'll be sending out automated emails I reckon.

    Another question to ask regarding application questions. I've a request to provide examples of when I have demonstrated attributes of ''always professional but ensuring that I'm friendly and approachable''. I feel that my answers for other questions are already so similar. I've used a mix of...
