TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[futurecitylawyer00]

Hello everyone,

I had a problem with my English SIM card and only got it back last night so I am not able to see any missed calls or messages. I am panicking because I am wondering whether Taylor Wessing called me yesterday and I missed it… should I email graduate recruitment? Or will they send me an email in case the call didn’t go through and notify me? My biggest fear at the moment is if that occurred, they just might be like “okay unavailable let’s move on with other candidates”.

I would appreciate any advice!!!

They would definitely email you imo, it would be really silly and weird for them to give an AC spot to another applicant if they have one who is more qualified. It is unreasonable to expect you to pick up the phone a 100% of the time

Any PFO's from Latham or Kirkland? Still waiting post application

 

[Equal_Rites]

Any advice for Milbank AC? Thanks!

Congrats man! When did you apply? Also is the AC the next stage after the written app lol?

 

[taetae]

When did they get back to you please ?
I applied in this too. Did they fast-tracked you ?
Thanks.

Hey, I heard back in the morning around 11am. I'm not sure what you mean by fast track but I applied before the deadline, did the CAPP and WG and only heard back today.

 

[EVjuji]

anyone heard back from mishcon or forsters this week?

I heard back from Fosters

 

[peterlaw]

Has anyone heard from BCLP about their open day or vacation scheme?

rejected today, the day after doing their test. Didn't meet the bench mark.

I stuttered and made some slight mistakes, before quickly correcting myself in an interview today :’(

Are firms understanding of nerves or would they see this as a weakness? @Jessica Booker I don’t usually stutter but this was my first interview (unfortunately for a firm I really wanted to work for)

Hi everyone, does anyone know if Womble Bond Dickinson recruits only via their vacation scheme? thanks!

Hi @teddy_lawyer I only see a TC application form on their website. Do they have the same form for both VS and TC opportunities?

 

[Strawberries]

Has anyone heard from Baker McKenzie post VI?

 

[BM99]

For people who have completed links interview and received an outcome, did your portal shows interview review done as well? Or it will just stay at the interview stage?

 

[BonanzaBih_]

Any advice for Milbank AC? Thanks!

Hi if you don’t mind when did you apply and when did they get back to you?

 

[BonanzaBih_]

Has anyone heard from BCLP about their open day or vacation scheme?

Unless you are at a final interview stage, everything is likely to be via email. If it is that you are waiting for an outcome from a final interview, they will likely email you as well as call.

Firms can take nerves into account and generally recognise that they won’t always be there after the recruitment process. This is particularly not an issue if your communication gets stronger as the interview progresses or if it’s an assessment centre and you have had multiple interactions with people, they have seen stronger communication in other assessments.

Thank you! I feel more at ease now
