TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

[hannah04]

For a direct TC CV, do I need to list out each module grade under the education section? Or is there a particular format I should use (e.g yearly average, key modules only etc)

This is a US firm which requires a CV and cover letter (no app portal).

I'm inclined to think the former , if there's no app portal. Also, which firm is this?

Has anyone previously completed and is willing to shed some light on what the Withers Written Communications Assessment and Personality Test the you have to complete before AC entails? Thank you!

I would list out all modules if there is no other place to put them (like an online form).

Did they get back to you after the strength based test post-app?

if there is an online form to list modules, would you still advise to list all modules on the CV?

No - you don’t need to duplicate this information then. In these instances, put your degree details and overall qualification in, and you can highlight and key modules/strong performance if you want to.

[lawyerletsgo]

for video interviews, do they review your answers with a copy of your application too? I ask this because idk if i should give examples of competencies through non-law experiences to avoid repeating my application answers

Sometimes, yes they do. Where you can try to use different examples but it is not an issue if you occasionally highlight something already mentioned on your application form.
