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

[show_me_the_tc]

Good to know we’re in the same boat!!! I can’t remember when they said we’d hear back? Looking at the student room discussion someone said this week? Also how did your AC go!!

I believe grad rec said this week! I really don't think mine went very well so I'm expecting a no tbh I struggled with the questions about the case study and it threw me that they didn't ask me why CC! How did yours go?

I thought the time to write the e-mail was ridiculously short!!! They asked me why CC and gave me a v thorough grilling reg commercial awareness ! But tbf the interviewers were so down to earth so that put me at ease. You’re just being hard on urself I’m sure! Good luck

If a firm recruits on a rolling basis but my interview isn't until May/June - are my chances diminished due to spaces filling up?

 

[to law or not to law?]

Quick question: What happens if I'm offered a vacation scheme but are unable to do it due to working full time?

In an interview is it good to mention specific names of people you have spoken to at events?

No - rolling basis tends to apply to application screening rather than interviewing.

sorry if this question has been asked before but how is the best way to go about emailing for an update on an interview outcome (been 2 weeks since) because you need to confirm/reject another employment offer ASAP that clashes with the dates of the place you interviewed at? thank you!

SH - online assessment invitation! Heard nothing from them for so long I thought it was the end of the road haha

It depends on the context. Sometimes it doesn’t add any value to what you say - particularly if you are leading with them/what they told you, rather than your analysis of what they told you/why it is relevant to you.

Exactly as you have described is appropriate.

Call them and explain you are keen to understand when you might get an update from your interview as you need to make some decisions on another offer you have received.

Be mindful they may tell you to accept it anyway (knowing that you can later renege it).

They will probably be individual links anyway.

Not yet, but they told our AC group (London) that we'd hear back at the end of March so am not expecting to hear for a while yet! Hope yours went well

Apologies I should have clarified - they make recruit and make offers on a rolling basis. just wondered whether by May/June, there's less chance

Omg are they still giving things out? Perhaps there is a small slither of hope as I had written them off!
