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

Response from eversheds for London saying they’ve filled all spaces from their vac scheme for London….

 

[traineedreamer]

Has anyone else also not heard from Freshfields, Weil, or NRF yet? All these WG and AC responses coming in have me worried... Do they send all the WG in one batch or do we think this is a PFO

I haven't heard back from NRF, applied 8th July. All the WG invites definitely have me feeling anxious today!

Yeah, same. Shame they had no available/allocated slots to direct TCs

I'm guessing the comment saying 'we were impressed by the quality of your application and encourage you to apply again' has been sent to everyone else?

Okie thanks! Tbf I applied like 4 days before this deadline.

I'm also waiting to hear back from them, had to email them to upload my results as they're released after the deadline but they said I should hear back in the next few weeks.

 

[lw2000]

Anyone heard from Trowers?

 

[Bradley Draper]

ooof, triple PFO today - Weil, Stephenson Harwood, and Eversheds. Seen that people have heard back from NRF too, which I'm still waiting for. Could be quad PFOs by the end of the day, brutal!

Do you know what type of interview this is? And yes, confirm the start date for sure and let us know what they say!

It’s a video interview with graduate recruitment! I have emailed to confirm so hopefully they will get back to me soon 🤞🏼

 

[milliejeyes]

I did it in April/May this year, I can DM you with some tips

Yes please that would be really helpful!

I got it too. But I did not get any comment of the quality of my app in the last cycle (just checked).

My email said that too - would love to know if anyone's didn't say that this year

I wouldn't get too stressed, they likely send them out in batches. I got mine quite early on for the spring scheme and others got them a week or so later!

I very much doubt it was sent to everyone - that's not in the firm's interests.

NRF WG - received at 13:11 today

Has anyone heard from HL post wg?

 

[NaimK]

I still haven't heard from Freshfields post-app tbh. I imagine it's a PFO but it hasn't been officially confirmed.

My app was updated apparently on 28 July. Idk what that means.

Wish we could read into the future🔮 But if it's one thing I've learned: it's not a PFO until it's a PFO - keep your chin up
