TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

It was some sort of ensemble of videogames last year, so difficult 🥲

Oh no! Do you remember if it was Arctic Shores (like, the balloons game, energy game) or was it something else?

Has anyone who did their W&C VI on the 30th of October received an invite to AC?

Yes, it was such a good application

 

[S87]

Covington graduate recruitment said that they sent out all the wvs.

 

[LawLife]

Has anyone heard back from Willkie?

I took the VI on 18th. NO RESPONSE. They said 15 working days. I don't know if I should take it as a PFO.

So, no reply means PFO?

 

[LawLife]

If no response yet after NRF TI on 31st, should I assume PFO?

Hey! Does anyone have any advice as to how long the Flex trainee/apprentice Covering Letter should be and what should be included? Is it the standard 'Why law/Why Flex Legal/Why me'? Thanks in advance!

Do you have to take the Capp and WG again for the linklaters VS if you have already taken them for the open day application?

I took the Capp again and seemed to be able to retake the wg, but other people on tcla have said we can only take the wg once? So I'm not sure whether the system got a bug for me

 

[HLL]

Is it okay to write in full prose in the cv for DLA? Appreciate any advice

Well, I can assume PFO from Willkie

If you mean 18th of October, the 15th working day is tomorrow, might not be that helpful 😅 but technically there’s still a bit of time! If I remember correctly, Gemma’s the only person on the team reviewing these, so it might just be a busy time

Right, I would be positive about it, honestly, I sent my application in October and have not heard back yet, so if I were you, I would wait and see.

Willkie doesn't have a WVS, so no news really could just mean no news. Hang in there.

OMG can't believe it Ashurst case study invite.

Congratulations!!!

Has anyone heard anything post-app from Travers Smith yet? Assumed we would have heard about the next round by now as it's less than 1 month until their scheme starts.
