    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hello, I have recently accepted a job offer that I would like to put on my applications. However, I haven't started yet. I am aware that time is ticking and that firms recruit on a rolling basis, do you think I should include this on my applications or wait until I have actually started to do so?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hello, quick question. When writing one of my submissions, I wrote something under mitigating circumstances that I believed to be true regarding my education (this is going back 8 years now), but I realised actually happened after and is not applicable. I realise that if successful, they'll be...

    I agree, a long time of radio silence. My application wasn’t very strong in all honesty. The good news is if yours was strong then you have it all there and you’ll find another TC elsewhere. I have learned a lot from that process and shall produce a better application next time. Either way...

    Finally got my PFO from CRS. Happened to be on my birthday, but any communication is better than none, so we go again. Onwards and upwards, still many more TCs open this season.

    Still yet to hear back from CRS post-app. Expecting the PFO but would be nice to just get it out of the way at this point

    How old is too old for Vacation Scheme Applications?

    Hello, I was wondering if there is an age at which you'd say the prospects of receiving a Vacation Scheme offer starts to go down. I am going to be 25 in a month, and facing the prospect of no TC this year, I'm considering applying again for Vacation Schemes alongside TCs for next year.

    This is a TC-adjacent question. Is there a time limit after the application of a TC during which a recruiter will not get a commission if they refer you to that same firm for a different position? I'm unsure if I worded that clearly. I applied for a TC last year at firm X, however, a recruiter...

    Hello, thanks for the feedback. Both of these services seem to apply to BAME individuals, of which I am not.

    Feeling rather dejected at the moment. I have been applying for training contracts/Vac Schemes for a few years now, and never got so much as an interview. Got a first from a Russell Group, Distinction in GDL, yet still not hearing a peep. I've been trying to apply for Paralegal jobs, but they...

    Darn, was hoping they hadn't started sending them out. In any case, I hope they get back to you!

    Has anyone heard back from CRS? Second round of applying now, last time I got a rejection on the 18th of February, so I assume if I haven't heard back by then that it shall be a rejection?
