TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

[Sfernan21]

Has anyone heard from SH or PMC post AC/Written task? If yes [successful] what were the timelines on this? The nervous wait is awful.

Must be nice to finish an interview and genuinely feel like it went well. Can't relate! Never experienced that emotion!

I do well at interviews so usually feel pretty good about them. AC's/WG's however......sheesh

Has anyone heard back from TLT post WG yet or from Trowers?

I got invited to the TLT AC a few days ago. I had to choose between 1st, 2nd or 3rd of Feb.

As a side note, it is my first AC, if anyone has any advice, especially concerning TLT, please let me know!! I am particularly nervous about the fact it is virtual.

I applied and got invited to interview with a 2:1 from Durham (average of 64%), but rejected them, as I decided US law wasn't for me. Happy to share my application if you'd like?

Man you graduated from Durham a UK top university!

LinkedIn Etiquette: what is the general feeling about the LinkedIn trend of « incoming vac scheme at… »?
Is it perceived as too much? like would it be better to simply wait for the actual VS to happen then put that on LinkedIn?

Trust your instinct with this as there is no wrong or right way to go about it. Worst case scenario, if the vac scheme doesn't happen, you can simply remove it.

Hello, just wondering if anyone is still waiting to hear back from Bakers post app? Haven't even received the WG invite nor been rejected, and they said they'll get back to everyone by the 31st of Jan about the outcome of the app when I first applied (back in early December). I know it's not the 31st yet, but still, a bit close isn't it haha.

Sincerely speaking I am trying to recover from Covid, so I have other priorities like getting my breath back. I was talking to a friend and she is waiting to hear from Clyde and we both feel like that applications are more complicated than ever!

I am so sorry I hope you get welll soon! Sending you my prayers

Withers Capptivate Assessment invite! Apparently that is the next stage after the app!

find it quite funny how my DLA Piper app (London) still hasnt been updated post wg.. last update was when i initially submitted my app. kinda sucks to know they probably didnt even read my app even though i never received a pfo.. or anything?! from what it seems like all ACs are done or spots filled but just strange to not have any closure.

I got a pfo post-WG for DLA but for Manchester office. Maybe the London office havent reviewed some WGs yet? I got the pfo within about 3 days after, wouldn’t it be strange for some offices to send out pfos and another office just ignore?

 

[romee]

has anyone heard back from withers post completing the SJT?

 

[OO28]

Amazing news!

A massive congratulations to you!

Thank Jessica!!

Sorry to hear this! Do you know the dates of the scheme?

 

[ZaraB]

Sorry to hear this! Do you know the dates of the scheme?

I’m not sure, sorry! The dates should be on their website, but they didn’t refer to them within the rejection email.

Just had my first AC and I found it absolutely brutal. I got so anxious with the group and written tasks. I tried my best which is, I know, is all I can do - but is it normal to feel like this?

Defo! Especially as it was your first. Well done and, as you say, you can only do your best. I'm sure it went well and, even if not, you've just had some valuable practice for your next ACs
