TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[sibs23]

Definitely agree with this - all vacation schemes should be listed. It is better to include them than not have the evidence of pursuing the career.

Thank you, both! This is reassuring

Hello, @Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam Do you know of any firms to which you can apply for Vacation schemes multiple times in one cycle?

I personally don’t know of any firms that allow this - I would expect most firms to only allow one application per type of programme per cycle or one application only per cycle across all programmes.

Hi, I am looking to apply to the BCLP Spring Vacation Scheme, however, I was wondering whether I should write in full prose or bullet points for the work experience section seeing as the rest of the application consisted of four 500 word answers.

@Jessica Booker

I’d still write in prose for the work experience section. BCLP are one of the firms that just likes a longer application form.

Helloo
Does anyone know how one would get their WG results from CMS? Do I just email early careers?

 

[Amjaya]

Just submitted the WG for HG Lift Off! Fingers crossed I passed 😭

What platform did you use to practice?

What platform did you use to practice?

I used Assessment Day. JobTestprep also has a free test I think and there are lots of resources on Youtube too!
