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

So…in the space of 4 hours, I’ve nearly been killed and drop-kicked by this Storm Eunice 8 times but I can safely say that receiving a PFO from a law firm hurts more 🙃😹.

TW PFO. Sorry for the negativity, but I really don't think that TW's arctic shores assessment is a true or fair representation of our personalities. I scored 0 for interpersonal skills which I find hard to believe.

Sorry about the PFO for TW, I received my PFO this morning too.

I completely agree, though the test was more 'enjoyable' than some other types of test, my report was not at all reflective of my personality and entirely clashed with feedback I have been given by other people or firms. I too scored really low on 'feels less energised by social situations' - I don't understand how this could have been gaged at all considering the test had nothing to do with this/no opportunity to interact with anyone! I was excited by the idea of a different kind of assessment until I received the report... 😒

What is the time you should wait before chasing up post interview?

What is the time you should wait before chasing up post interview?

I would always ask at the end of the interview/assessment centre when I would expect to hear back. And then give it 3 working days after that date if they hadn't come back by then.

If I hadn't asked or got clarity as to when I would hear back in the interview/assessment centre, I would first send a polite email asking when I might hear back, rather than asking for an outcome.
