TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

@Jessica Booker Has there been any answers for this? I'm in the exact same boat, went to submit my 200 word answers and now all 4 questions are asking for 500 words? Don't want to write an extra 1200 words if it's an error on the application form :/

I don’t know unfortunately. I would check with the firm.

Does anyone have tips for Jones Day interview?

Sidley PFO for WVS, applied on deadline.

Just had an absolute shocker of an interview:
- internet cut out twice
- my brother slammed the door open letting the cat in and shouting at her
- the cat then proceeded to meow throughout the rest of the interview

is this all that I’m going to be remembered for in GR’s mind

Anyone heard back from Covington yet?

Been there - spilled my hot coffee halfway in the interview and had a power cut

These things happen. Says absolutely nothing about you or your abilities as a candidate - I wouldn’t worry about it.

just got a sidley pfo too, does everyone else also get the 'however your application impressed us and we'd like to consider you for spring/summer vs' in the email generically?

I did not get that

Does anyone know if Travers are still making interview calls or have started sending out PFOs yet?

no, mine didn't include that, so either you're actually impressive, or I'm especially unimpressive )

With Sidley WVS PFOs, is it possible to apply for the Spring/Summer VS this cycle too? I think my application would be better & not the same (e.g. having been to Sidley events + other US Firms since). Does anyone know if they have a limit for applications & reapplications? Also does anyone know if a previous rejection will harm your chances on a second application? Thanks!

Got an interview invite for the Bristows IP Workshop!! Any tips would be much appreciated. This will be my first ever law firm interview

 

[lawstudent1]

Anyone heard back from Covington yet?

I got invited for AC next week! They are sending out responses in batches, I am told

 

[IsabelleSmith]

Do you get a confirmation email after completing the Hogan Lovells Watson Glaser test? My computer was weird at the end and I'm worried it didn't submit??

I did it yesterday and I didn't get an email after completing either

 

[futuretraineecity]

Just realised I have a missed call from no caller id from 40 mins ago but won’t let me call back, anyone know whether most firms call back?
