TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

why does the covington application ask us to invent a new technology do i look like steve jobs

when firms ask 'creative questions' like this, i find it slightly patronising, because at the end of the day i feel like they don't really care and assessing these are subjective. it's like that withers question about childhood toys. just give me a job please

The Covington question is sooo annoying. But I’m gonna have to do it since I actually like the firm 🙄

Congratulations!!

Do you mind letting me know when you applied and when you heard back?

I applied for the Spring Vac scheme the 3/12 and attended their open but I still haven’t heard anything back.

I completed their test 4/12 and nothing back, fingers crossed

Any guidance for this question please? ‘what is your understanding of how a business generates and maintains a profit?' Thank you!

i would consider the practical ways in which a business can increase its revenue without necessarily just increasing costs, or how it reduces costs without reducing revenue.

Provide practical examples (innovation, diversification of service/products, technology to increase productivity etc) and maybe even use examples of how specific businesses have done that.

extremely sad not to have received the Bakers SJT, however did not receive a PFO yet, so I am staying optimistic, particularly as I completed two summer internships in their offices abroad

Just completed the NRF artic shores... I really don't see the relevance, but still got 4 out of 4 on every single category so that's amazing; however, poor application completion I am sure because I barely did an effort for NRF this cycle... Regret is starting to eat me alive 😂😂

Remember the time limit is 72 hours from the email, so it’s really tight.
