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

[Iris best]

Ahhh did they leave a voicemail? Fingers crossed it was good news for you!!

No they didn’t but the grad rec emailed me and sent her mobile number to call back or text

 

[GK8997]

Has anyone done an AC with Dechert? What can I expect and how is the written assessment?

I have so feel free to PM me!

Anyone have an accurate description/definition of the term debenture? I am getting mixed answers from my research:

(1) 'A debenture is a type of bond or other debt instrument that is unsecured by collateral.' (Investopedia)
(2) 'A debenture is a loan agreement in writing between a borrower and a lender that is registered at Companies House. It gives the lender security over the borrower’s assets.' (gazette)

Is it the loan or the agreement for the loan?
Are debentures secured by collateral or not?

So confused after those two definitions

It’s the latter. A debenture usually means the document creating the security.

Yeah, so I was sent this today:


Thank you for your interest in Clyde & Co. Your application has been received and is currently being reviewed.

As part of the application process, you will be invited to take part in an Online Assessment. You will receive an invite for this in due course.

In the meantime, there are a few things we suggest you do to prepare:

•Visit the Cappfinity Preparation Hub for guidance on how to best prepare for a video interview

•Try our virtual experience programme to gain a deeper understanding of the firm, the quality of work we engage in and what we expect of our trainees via: clydecoearlycareers.com/en-gb/virtual-experience-programme

If you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage of the application process ….

I am not sure if this means I’ve progressed to video interview or, more likely, they’re just giving a heads up

I got the same reply even though I just applied for an insight day. So do I have to take part in an online assessment for insight day too?

Stephenson Harwood PFO post-app, they really must not have liked me at my HR interview last year loool

There’s something quite ironic about reading back an application and seeing the skills section and instead of saying “it’s important to remain calm”, it says “it’s important to remain clam” …

I realised I had written that I completed the "Farage internship" instead of Forage 🙃🙃🙃

Well, I had to select my own time and date on an online portal, so I guess i've already confirmed my availability by doing that. The email from grad recruitment just confirmed the time and date that I had selected so feel it's not worth replying to?

No need to confirm if you have booked yourself in. There email is basically the confirmation.

How did you do for the Psych Tests for Ashurst?

[Tcapplicant]

Does anyone have any advice for the written exercise and VI for dechert? Ahhhhhhh this is the first time my app has progressed in ages!!!! Thank you in advance

 

[N.9]

Has anyone heard from Sidley for Winter VS? I know I submitted my app relatively recently, but as they operate on rolling basis would be keen to know when people start hearing back
