Anyone have any advice for W&C's VI? I know something along the lines of Why W&C/law/me will probs come up but if anyone has previous experience I'd be grateful :)

BCLP TC Offer!!!! 🥳

I just wanted to thank the TCLA team alongside everyone who has ever provided insights on the forum or helped me in any way. The forum is such an amazing community and I’m so grateful for all the advice on here. This has been such a difficult journey, and it’s still a bit of a shock that it’s over now. Good luck everyone and I’m always happy to help in the forums or DMs. ☺️

Hi all,

Has anyone heard from:

- AS/ Harbottle & Lewis regarding the tc application
- NRF ( who completed AS/WG in the first round) ( I believe yesterday was the last day for TI interviews so why have they taken so long to reject me/I am pretty sure everyone else in the first round got rejected earlier on)
- AS Barclays work experience ( since it starts in a week's time I am assuming a rejection but I haven't seen any LinkedIn posts) ( I know this thread is for TCs but idk where else to ask) .

I got rejected after AC for BCLP which sucks because I suspect it was mainly confidence ( I was a mess and at one point the partner mentioned lawyers needing to be tough (which could have been an indirect or could have just flown from our previous conversation on settlement negotiations)) ( it may have been everything and the only thing I got right was showing up on time ( I hope they give good feedback calls)). Any tips for confidence? It sucks because I feel like it's not something you can fix overnight like CA or not knowing enough about the firm.

@Jessica Booker W&C say they review their VIs on a rolling basis, but they won't be looking at them over the weekend + bank holiday right? so I should have up until Tuesday to practice answers and get it in for then?
No one will be working weekends.

But rolling recruitment doesn’t mean they are reviewed daily on a working day. They are likely to only review in batches, maybe once a week or every couple of week depending on numbers.
