TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

[thirdtimelucky]

thank you! out of curiosity, did you apply for vac schemes or direct tc?

Vac scheme, but in the two years I applied it took a few weeks to receive the tests.

 

[Anon98]

Anyone heard from Browne Jacobson?

Did you ever get any feedback from the assessment centre?

I'd reach out with an email/call (be mindful about time zone differences if you call) asking if there are any updates available on the status of your application.

Sorry if this is linked in somewhere obvious but i remember there being a guide/tips application thing for direct TC apps and would be grateful if someone could link it here for me

edit: literally found it the second after posting this lol its this link if anybody else wants it too

For anyone still waiting post-WG for Freshfields, they're still giving out ACs as I received an invite three days ago. Wishing everyone luck!!

Thanks! I sent an email last week and they said that they should be able to update us by this week. But it's already Friday afternoon now so …

Thanks for the update! Do you know what the dates were for the ACs? Trying to gage when the interviewing process will end and we'll start hearing about rejections/offers.

The first AC was 28 Feb.

Just finished my AC with Freshfields! I thought they really did push you for the analytical interview and have no idea how I did overall for both my interviews. Does anyone know when to expect to hear back?

They had dates for all of next week - latest was the 25th. Btw I've done an AC for them two cycles ago (unsuccessfully ) and heard back about two weeks after but idk if they'll follow a similar timeline

I did my WG on 9th March

Not sure if anyone has applied for RPC direct TC here, but I've just received an online test link

For direct TC's - if you were to receive a phone call saying you're being offered a TC, how long should you give grad rec to email over the paperwork before chasing?
