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

[Limanehious]

Has anyone heard from Trowers and Hamlins post-application yet? They said they would get back to us in early February

Anyone know if Slaughters have given out any summer vac scheme offers?

Anyone know if Slaughters have given out any summer vac scheme offers?

I’ve seen a couple of offers but I think it’s only to people who have other offers so needed a response.

Lathan rejection.

In light of all the frustrations that us applicants face, I think this article presents a time-efficient solution to the question of post-application feedback:

I know this might be too much of an ask, but could @Jaysen perhaps leverage your network with graduate recruiters to get them to at least consider such initiatives? It would be extremely helpful!

I know there are former graduate recruiters such as @Jessica Booker, and current recruiters such as @Paul - Shearman & Sterling and @WillkieGemma on this forum. As a collective of current applicants, I think we would all appreciate your thoughts on such an initiative, and whether it would be feasible from the perspective of a recruiter.

Thank you very much in advance for your thoughts.

Does anyone know if tlt email/ ring for successful/unsuccessful vac offers?

 

[Tony Stark]

I doubt it as simple as that - the assessments are likely to be looked at holistically rather than having an individual weighting.

Hi @Jessica Booker , would they also look at the application you wrote when deciding to offer you a vs?

post application feedback would be amazing even in this very simplistic form but I'm still waiting for post final interview feedback 2 months after the event after a 7 month and several stage application process. Definitely soured my opinion of that law firm...

Second time with Latham, find myself caring less and less with each passing rejection.

At this point vac scheme rejections are basically 'alright cool, that means I get to use my PTO for a holiday this year, the Mrs. will be overjoyed'
