TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

@Jessica Booker I was wondering if you could give some advice!
This is my first time being invited to an AC, and it is virtual. I am unsure what to expect, as most of the information I can find relates to in person ACs.
I am actually quite lost on what exactly am AC entails.
Moreover, if I have already done a VI, is it expected to do another during an AC?

who is the AC with?

 

[KBLAW]

Has anybody heard from Weil post-AC?

Got an offer Yesterday

HSF AC!

Edit: This was for summer VS. Also, I was rejected for this year’s Disputes Open Day, so please don’t be put off!

Congrats! did you get the invite today?

Which firm is this for? It is likely that there will be a fuller interview with someone live even though it is virtual.

Clyde & Co. During ACs is it usually like verbal and seeing how we work within groups? Or do we have written tasks as well?

I don't know the specifics of the firm unfortunately. I would expect the firm to give you details of the assessments you will need to complete.

Is this for Spring or Summer?

They allowed me to choose between either but I applied for Spring so chose Spring.

 

[Jessica Booker]

Alrighty. Thank you🫶🏼

There is no issue with asking the firm to confirm what exercises you will complete - so I would encourage you to contact them and ask for further details about what to expect from the assessment centre.

Will do!! Thank you so much.

Akin Gump Watson Glaser!! Is it automatic after the application?

 

[Jessica Booker]

Will do!! Thank you so much.

Once you have more details, please feel free to ask for further advice on the specific exercises. I am sure the forum will have lots of content that you can be directed to that will give you more specific advice on the assessments you will experience.

Not automatic - you're onto the next stage! Congratulations

 

[WindowsUpdate]

I would personally suggest highlighting the specifics of the open days, insight schemes and virtual experiences you have completed. But the rest of your approach seems very sensible/logical.

Thank you for the reply 😄Just a few follow up questions if you don't mind. What kind of specifics should I include? And how woudl I structure this part given there might be several events, or should I pick 2-3 and briefly say what I learned/enjoyed from each? Thank you!

Oh wow ! Thank you Adrian 😊😊
