TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[NCTC2025]

The link is at the bottom of the email to take you to the CVMail website that we submitted our app forms! They said the due date is there but it isn't :'( I've emailed about the prep link not working though.

My email doesnt have any link at all though

Maybe they are planning to get back around 4:30/5pm.
Gives them the time to review apps today? or maybe they sorting out last minute issues.

Fieldfisher phone interview invite - any advice and tips will be highly appreciated! Thank you

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

fieldfisher test! is this automatic?

I don't think it is automatic. From what I know, it is the second stage

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

Fieldfisher AC!

Hi there, could you please share any insight into the phone interview - like what kind of questions they ask or anything else? Thanks!

Anyone who has heard from Weil today re VI, may I ask when you submitted your app? I submitted quite close to the deadline so was just wondering if I should be expecting to hear back so soon!

 

[lilymawe1]

any tips for Weil VI

An applications webinar I went to that was attended by Weil Early Careers said that competency and motivational questions come up at both the VI and the face-to-face stage. From what I remember the general tips they gave was to have clear examples for competency questions, structure well (i.e., STARR) and don't talk about "we" in team examples - talk about what you did within the team.

Pretty general/standard advice basically but hope that helps nonetheless!

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply?

Does anyone know if Mayer Brown automatically invites everyone who applied to do their Situational Strengths and Verbal Reasoning tests, or do they discriminate? I can't tell from their email invite or their website.

Considering I applied to Weil and willkie on 12th and weil closed on 15th, has anyone who applied to these two firms after 10th heard back?

Thanks

Willkie gets back to you within 15 working days. I wouldn’t worry

I dont know how relevant this is (as application processes may change year-on-year) but last year I applied 5 minutes before the deadline for Weil on the 15th and got the VI in mid January.

So don't be disheartened for any of you who haven't heard back yet

Kennedys test invite! Was the test meant to be automatic?

Congrats! I dont think so. I am still waiting to hear back from Kennedys and I applied far in advance of the deadline.

edit - I just received my test invite!
