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

[TC fiend]

How come graduate recruitment don't seem to use 'dear Mr/Ms' anymore? It's always hi [first name] nowadays and I'm wondering what happened to the old form of address?

Also, is it appropriate to send hi [first name] to graduate recruitment when you're initiating the email chain?

Firms have gone with the times and adopted more inclusive language

Hi everyone, I thought this day would never come, but, after 30 rejections post app, 3 failed WGs, 4 rejections post video interview, one rejection due to cancelled recruitment and one failed AC, I’ve been offered a TC at an international firm in London. Never give up guys.

Well done! Congrats

Thanks for answering my Mr/Ms question everyone. I must've sounded like an old man in my emails all this time without realising it.

I have just been sent the freshfields WG test link but it says interviews commence in February? Surely that's a mistake. This is for the 2024 direct tc
