Hi, I've never done a video or telephone interview before so would really really appreciate any help!!!!
Both general advice and specific advise for the Mishcon VI, Simmons and Simmons VI and the Dentons telephone interview.
I am new to TCLA so I am unsure if these questions were previously asked but would really really appreciate the help. thank you!!!!!!!

If anyone is feeling a bit fed up with applications particularly those who are on their second or third cycle and looking for a bit of Friday good news/motivation...last summer both the vac schemes I secured were cancelled entirely, so I was feeling pretty miserable about my chances.

I have applied to CMS 3 years in a row, and got the call today to offer me a place on their summer scheme!!!! I interviewed there in my first cycle and it was my first ever AC and it was a disaster on my end, and this year I can’t emphasise enough how much I realised how far I’d come during the AC process!!! I’m over the moon!!

So much thanks to the TCLA community - I was pretty active last cycle but have been a bit of a lurker this year, but can’t recommend the resources enough!

Massive Congratulations!

Which resources/courses did you use? I have my AC next week and would love general advice!

I wouldn't necessarily say so. They receive a lot of applications and it's not been two weeks yet. This may be wishful thinking but I'm trying to stay positive for at least another week or two.

Good! Most firms send out tests and interview invites in batches. Best of luck to you both :)

Love hearing these success stories, congratulations!! It's my third application cycle so hearing this just motivates me to keep on going :)
