    omggg I just got the call from Linklaters, I passed the AC for the Singapore-London TC! Partner interviews with the Singapore office next, if anybody could give some tips for this interview (as I've never interviewed with Singapore firms before) I would greatly appreciate it!

    So appreciative of TCLA's resources and support as this is the 2nd AC I've passed this cycle and I was really in a rut the past 2 years when I could never get past the final stages.
    Well done :)

    Is it normal for firms to interview/ offer ACs to spring vacation scheme applications before summer!! Sorry if this is a stupid question but I’m new to applications this cycle and haven’t heard back from quite a few summer 😰
    It’s normal because spring comes before summer, so if it’s for a vacation scheme in spring they will need to process this because it’s likely the scheme will be April? Whereas the summer ones are June/July?x

    Most of the time, yes that would be the case, purely where they need to recruit and onboard the spring people many weeks before the summer. However, some firms just run the recruitment at the same time, and will just have a longer lead in time ahead of the summer schemes.

    Although I am not Shearman biggest fan..Paul does a great work for aspiring solicitors more than those who claim to help aspiring solicitors
    I agree and I think we need more recruiters on the forum as well
    Hi all - I'm more than happy to answer questions re applications in general, not just Willkie specific. I try to be very very honest and direct with answers - just tag me as I'm afraid I can't go through every single post.
