TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Mara]

Hi, I just wanted some advice with regards to reapplying to a firm.

I interviewed at a firm last year and was unsuccessful. I want to reapply, and was wondering what I should do differently at application stage since I was successful previously and the questions more or less remain the same :/

I did ask what the reapplication policy is like and recruitment said its fine.
Thanks

Was literally about to ask the same. Did they tell anyone when we’d expect to hear back?

They said beginning of next week, so im assuming today/tomorrow

Anyone heard from Willkie?

I think Gemma said people would hear back 5 working days after the partner interview, but that there could possibly be delays. The very latest that we would all hear back is the 10th of March (next Monday). Best of luck to everyone who interviewed at Willkie.​

to those still waiting for a response from latham, what are we assuming?

I think either PFO or in the very best case they are operating a waitlist in case someone drops out, but I imagine that the likelihood of getting to AC is very slim tbh.

The wait after interviews is actually so draining because best believe I will be overthinking everything I did on the day until I get a response back from the firm.

Hello, does anyone have any advice for the assessment centre group interview task on how to prepare? I am terrified of someone asking me to talk more

Hey mate, congrats on getting to AC.
Honestly in my experience the prospect of someone asking you to talk more is reasonably small, if anything it tends to be the opposite in that it's difficult to get a word in because everyone wants to say something lol.
Best thing to do is to form an opinion on the matter whilst being flexible to others' views. It's not a matter of who can take command of the situation/who is a good "leader", rather, the point of the exercise is to assess how you work in a team.

Has anyone heard from Fieldfisher direct TC? I got another email saying their team is reviewing my app after getting an email end of Jan saying the same and that they’ll be in touch within 2 weeks. Thank you so much!

So real! I’ve been getting so many calls being so excited a firm is calling me back just for it to be one from a call centre. 💀

Don’t answer they will email your outcome regardless.

When people submitted their Mishcon interview, did they get a confirmation email about Mishcon receiving it and when we should hear back? I didn't so wondering whether to email grad rec.

 

[panon]

A win is a win It’s not a rejection!

 

[Lan_be]

If I haven't heard back from Goodwin yet is it a rejection? 😭

No, I spoke to them and they’ll spend the next few days making calls
