TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Anything from Hill Dickinson post online assessment/VI?

Maybe they're just disappointed in everyone's Amberjacks and hoping we all just forget we applied to them 🤣

Hi @Jessica Booker, I’m considering relocating back to my home country after graduation and applying for VS from there. Will having a non-UK address on my application forms place me at a disadvantage at the application form stage?

No it wont - I did it last year. However, you might have to fly to the UK for ACs and firms might not be able to provide full sponsorships for travel / accom.

They gave out all the ACs already I think. I would assume pfo.

 

[ohnoselim]

has anyone received an update post-app for stephenson harwood vs (summer)?

I agree ! Unfortunately, we should assume pfo by now, as ACs have been given and no chance to invite more people. I was disappointed too as I think I did the VI well.

Hey gang! Anyone heard anything from Hill Dickinson post-Amberjack Assessment?

 

[qwop881]

Does anybody know if White & Case are still inviting people to ACs? Did my VI a month ago and haven't heard back.

 

[elektrajenkov]

SH spring VS offer!

Congrats!! Out of curiosity, did they call or email? I know they have called in the past but that was also when they had ACs

 

[Ali A]

Is anyone still waiting to hear back post AC for Bakers Spring Scheme?

Anyone got any comments on repeating answers in interviews? I did one interview over the phone with person A, now this week I have another one with person A and person B. I feel like lots of the stuff from the first interview will be covered as they're both competency based, but don't want to give the impression to person A that I only have a couple of script-prepared answers to things... it's just that my why me/why law/why this firm is really tight & I know it know in a punchy elevator package!
