TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

[hopefulforatc]

just applied for Mayer Brown direct TC.

apparently there are two tests that come after the written application - do they come straight away or are those tests the 2nd stage?

they are automatic

Its not timed however, they can tell how much time you spent on the test.

Got an interview and written exercise offer from Greenberg Traurig! Has anyone done a GT interview and written exercise? If so, can I send you a pm?

@Jessica Booker I accidentally submitted an app to a firm without fully completing the application form. None of the application questions were answered. I emailed them explaining the situation and asked if they would reopen the application so that I could properly finish it. Would they allow me to properly resubmit or do firms usually not allow this?

Not Jessica, but maybe it would be easier to ask if you can withdraw the app and then resubmit it if the deadline hasnt passed?

The deadline is on the 15th so it hasn’t passed yet. I’ve already sent the email asking them to reopen the application. Should I follow up asking if it’s okay to withdraw?

If you've already sent the email I'd see what they say first they might let you reopen it or offer you a different solution

They may allow this considering it is clearly an error - wait to see when they come back to you.

No - now you have contacted them, just wait for them to come back to you.
