Hi I started a thread for the WBD application question to discuss it
WBD Application Question 2022
Hello guys, I thought of creating a thread for WBD application question. The point of this thread is to discuss the application question and how to approach the application question. The application question - Considering the location in which you wish to train; tell us about a local...

You can have a look at this thread and a discussion about some suggestions.
Thank you so much!! And congrats!! I got ahold of them today finally and theyre working on it for me 🎉🎉
I think it’s purposefully broad and vague. I read it as a property development or construction/planning project that is or has happened recently. The Battersea Power Station development springs to mind.
I’d go about it like this: first, have a think about what interests you. This could be anything from your hobbies to particular law firm practice areas you’re interested in. Starting here is important as they want to know why it interests you - this is what helps you stand out from the crowd. ➡️ With an idea of what interests you, see what’s happening in London in connection to that. For example, maybe you’re interested in renewable energy, and there’s a construction project in London designed to install X amount of EV charging points by the end of 2022. ➡️ With an idea in mind, you can now explain why it interests you. Maybe you did a course on renewable energy and liked how it combined new technology and problem solving ➡️ then tie your question into how the firm can assist. I remember WBD has a strong energy sector focus, so there’s lots of knowledge they can support with on a project around clean energy. For example, construction, development, planning advice.
Hope this helps!
Has anyone ever completed a VI with PWC? if yes, do you have any tips for preparation? PWC VI format seems quite different to normal ones..
I remember from last year they had a question about 3D printers in the video interview.
Stephenson Harwood summer vac wg invite 🤞
Hey everyone, bit of a unique question today - I have a CV based interview coming up and I wrote down that I run a small business. Could the law firm ask me questions like "what is your annual turnover, profit margins, how much you pay your employees/in tax" like really dragon den style questions to test my commercial awareness or are questions like these construed as inappropriate?
TLT Bristol Vacation Scheme offer!! They called me earlier today 😁
Hi everyone, I've just finished my cycle of applications and excited (and in disbelief) to say that I've been offered two Training Contracts and a vacation scheme this cycle. It's going to be a difficult decision, but one that I never thought I'd have to make.
This was my third cycle, and I was rejected from every firm I applied to last year at the application stage, but I can really say that TCLA was pivotal to my progress this year and I would like to thank every one of you, especially @Jaysen and @Jessica Booker for this platform and for all your help. I could truly never have done it without the materials and support. I'm usually a bit of a lurker in the forum, but I went through it a LOT (perhaps obsessively) and it would often help me calm down before an interview.
To those of you still in the heat of the cycle, I wish you all the best of luck! It's such a stressful process, but you're all such strong people and I believe in you.
P.S. What is the process for uploading interview / application experiences?

Rejection from a direct TC from SMB. Kind of losing motivation for anything law-related right now.
Yes you will get to see other candidates when grad rec is giving out instructions. But there will be no substantial interaction/ group exercise, etc. Prepare examples for the competencies listed on the grad rec website and the typical why simmons, why law. Time is quite tight for both inbox exercise and case study - make sure finish the required tasks on time. Good luck!
been 2 weeks since BM VI still haven't heard back :/
Congratulations! Such an incredible start to your week!!
This message is also super encouraging so thank you!
I say 2 weeks is not long as I know for other firms people waited 2 months post video interview.
Nah, I'll give Slaughters another crack - I think the key thing with them is to have a very clear and very strong reason to apply there, and to get in early in the cycle.
