TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

Thanks for your responses. @John Abram is this something Clyde’s GR have directly told you or has this just been what you’ve generally seen with VI’s. I’ve sent GR an email already for clarity and tried calling them but noone but picked up ://

Please could you update if you hear from GR?

Has anyone heard back from Willkie post VI?

 

[KC OG]

Has anyone got a VI request from W&C?

Did anyone apply for the Fox Williams March 2023 TC?

I went to complete my linklaters WG and it says I have until the 16th October to complete. However, I am worried that this is a glitch and i should only have had until the 10th (as I completed my CAPP assessment on the 5th).
If I complete it today would be application still be valid ?

I think the deadline is for the CAPP assessment and the written application alone. So, it would make sense if they set a deadline for WG that is after the main deadline. Best of luck!

Hey guys - anyone heard anything from A&O??

 

[BM99]

Has anyone heard anything from Linklaters? Winter VS or Open Day?

I'd almost just follow what it says and take until the 16th to complete it. Tale a screenshot of the message/bookmark the email that tells you that you have until the 16th so that you can present this to grad rec should any problems occur with you submitting your WG.

Has anyone had a VI offer from W&C? Does anyone have information on how long they usually take to send a VI offer? From past experiences? This is for the winter scheme

Yeah I got my PFO on the 7th of October

 

[zizszhplum]

Is it worth applying to W&C Winter VS or, because its rolling and applications are due in 5 days, should I wait to apply for the summer VS?

 

[mckelly]

Has anyone had the experience when applying to Jones Day that the AllHires website ignores the paragraph spacing when you come to the review page?

 

[Sc924]

Has anyone done the Simmons online assessment thing yet? Are the video interview questions the standard why simmons, why law etc. or more scenario based?

 

[Dib312]

If an application asks about any open days/events you have attended in the legal sector, does this mean you need to expand on why you attended, what you have learned from it etc.? Thank you

 

[B A]

Has anyone heard back after applying for Shearman's October Open Day?

 

[Samir_O]

is 940 words about right for a cover letter (no word limit given)? - this looks to be about a page and a quarter/half on Word

It depends on the firm. Some have specific word counts or limit you to a page. For those that don’t, I generally say to aim for around 750-850 words if you can.

Thank you! Decided to do the WG today
