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

sorry to those who i confused by this.. i meant ive passed the sjt but still havent heard if ive progressed to AC or not despite many having done an Ac already. should i just assume pfo? 😤

When did you submit your application if I may ask? I recall you asking if it was too late to submit about a week ago. If you did submit then, all you can do is be patient and try to stay positive for now 🤗 I’m sure you’ll hear back soon x

And what about the interview experiences which have the exact same questions that will be asked during the interview?

questions being asked during an interview are fundamentally different to a uniform process of filtering out candidates before face-to-face communication. It really isn't difficult to see the difference

From what I know that they also filter candidates from the AC centres. It really isn't difficult to see it :/

 

[ps123]

The variance of content coverage in an AC interview setting is huge; there is no guarantee you'll be answering the same questions as anyone else. In this instance, pre-recorded questions, its quite literally guaranteed to be the same.

Fair point.

I do not want anyone to think that I am just arguing for my own benefit, I personally did not submit an application with the firm and not planning too, I was just surprised of how this is viewed form such a narrow perspective and standard.

Fundamentally, asking for VI questions is breaking the terms of use for this forum that you would have agreed to: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/help/terms/

6. Share information that does not undermine the recruitment process​

We expect a balance between sharing information and maintaining integrity. We endeavour to share as much information as possible, so the whole community benefits and the profession becomes more accessible. However, we want to do this without undermining the integrity of firms’ recruitment processes.

We allow the sharing of:

• the structure of an interview or assessment;
• live interview questions;
• General themes regarding individual assessment exercises, including case study or written exercise topics;
• Positive and negative experiences of the interview process; and
• Advice for preparing for interviews and assessments.

We do not allow the sharing of:

• Video interview questions; and
• Specific assessment information, such as the specific scenario of individual case studies, group assessments or written exercises.

I really do not care about the questions since the beginning, and I SAID OUT OF CURIOSITY, which you can read in my question. RELAX AND MOVE ON

 

[GXA123]

I am sorry if my out of curiosity question offended anyone or made them feel uncomfortable. I am not interested in the questions. I hope that this is clear for everyone.

Curiosity or not I answered your question ...

Happy Friday

And what about the interview experiences which have the exact same questions that will be asked during the interview?

1) The interview experiences are completely different for each person, plus they tend to be changed every year (and indeed in each AC). By contrast, VIs are a prescribed list of questions - usually uniform to each candidate.
2) "I totally agree but helping others would never step in your way or could take your chance." That's like saying someone should tell other people the exam answers because it won't impact their own mark.

Be grateful that people are willing to share general info at all. They're taking time out of their own day to do it.

Thank you! I’m very grateful and that is why I spend a lot of my time helping people out with what I know on this platform and giving back. If you are following ♥️

White & Case VI for Winter VS - anyone know if its competency or scenario or more about the firm? Or a mix?

I did it for a TC last year so imagine it is similar. It was a mixture of both from what I can remember.

I submitted an application 30 minutes ago and just realised I made a grammatical error in my CV. I can't make changes to my application after submitting it and there's no option to withdraw.

Is immediately emailing graduate recruitment to withdraw this application, then re-applying with the corrected CV through a different personal email before the deadline tonight a stupid idea, anyone?
