TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Michalis Kyriacou]

Hey everyone,

I have an in person AC coming up, and am wondering if I should bring anything with me. If so, do people just bring backpacks/bags with them?

Thanks

Hey,

did an AC in person last week and they provided everything a person may require. I also think that firms do not want you to take your own things for fairness reasons. However, i guess it depends on the firm as well. Perhaps you should drop grad rec a quick email. Best of luck

There was definitely one person who heard back some days before the deadline. But haven't seen anyone else receive an invite yet. Good luck

Is anyone still waiting to hear from Eversheds?

Yup, feels like ages now! This week we’ll get a response surely

Please could I ask for some insight into the L&W Behavioural Assessment (SJT) in terms of outcomes. I’ve been trawling forums for a while but not found much around feedback.
Being completely transparent mine came back:
Strengths - Effective communication and judgment
Development - Personal responsibility

I’ve no idea whether this is good, bad or ugly and would love to know other’s results/if you progressed to the next stage. Of course, I know they won’t be viewed in isolation but I’m curious as to whether a result like mine could be positive or negative.

@Jessica Booker your insight would be super if at all possible please.

Have a lovely evening all 🙏

How do you guys cope with this? It’s ridiculous. I’m on edge constantly. I know a watched pot never boils but I’m checking my emails constantly. Not had anything back from anyone yet. One minute I’m gutted not to have heard from anyone but the next I’m relieved as no news is good news and not a PFO. The suspense is killing me (well, lack of control lol)

Ikr! The worst thing is I'll be refreshing my emails constantly and get nothing, but then I'll be in the middle of a class and get an email (had two rejections so far and both were in the middle of classes).

 

[EVjuji]

anyone heard from TLT?

I have - rejection.

anyone heard from TLT?

I was offered an AC this morning. The AC dates are 31st Jan and 1st and 2nd Feb so they might still be sending out offers!

Got an email from Sidley Austin with an invite to interview this morning - says the interview should be 1h15min, so it will be my longest interview so far - if anyone has any advice it would be very appreciated!
