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

Irwin Mitchell PLS video interview
So VI, I was successful. I would say my tips here are to practise answering Qs in the amount of time you are given - think it was 2 mins can't remember? and look at threads on here for common Q's: why this firm, when have you faced challenges, worked in a team etc. etc.- LJ96

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
From personal experience, I think so. Last year I had an AC with a firm which they began by telling us they had reduced the number of TCs available for the particular stream I applied for (its a firm that divides into personal/ business TC (hint)). When someone asked how many seats were...- LJ96

Hi @Jessica Booker , I have an app questions that asks: "Why do you want to pursue a career as a solicitor and what qualities do you think you possess to be a successful lawyer at [Firm name]?" Do you think I need to be specific to the firm in answering the second part? Thanks!- LJ96
