TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

That’s not true- I was at their open day and they were literally screening candidates during the day

Yep, they said they would get back to everyone this week and based on last year it’s probably going to be end of the week (Thu/Fri)

Oh thank God 😭 I was getting worried! I haven’t heard from them yet

Yeah I wouldn’t worry- nothing on LinkedIn either

Anyone heard back from flex trainee post ac?

It really depends on what you feel you were not able to discuss in the other answers and throughout the application questions. I remember that when I applied to the firm I talked about all the scholarship that I got from high school until university, volunteering experiences, and anything I was not able to discuss in my applications like being selected for a EU project around citizenship and equality in Italy.

I feel like anything that make you an interesting candidate should be mentioned but mainly, scholarships and awards and volunteering experiences are something you can always mention.

I hope that helps and good luck with the application!

Thanks! And one more additional question: because on the Hogan Lovells's application form, there isn't any space to include the extra-activities, so should I include it in this area or I should include my volunteer experience in the work experience part?

Update: still got no news from PwC but I did get an invite for the Irwin Mitchell VI last Monday, only to completely forget that I should have had it in by yesterday *insert facepalm* I just frantically did it now, but I'm definitely not holding my breath that I've managed to get to the next stage. This is just karmic payback for impulse applications, isn't it?

This is so weird but I applied for TW and did their test but on my application it says I have not applied for their VS. Anyone else experience this issue with them.

 

[goodvibesonly]

I have not heard anything back from TW post app. Should I email them?

Has anyone been invited to AC for HSF spring VS? (I haven’t, I’m just wondering)

You can talk about one extra-curricular activity and one volunteer experience and balance your answer. Alternatively, if you do not have enough work experience in your opinion, I probably would include the volunteering experience in the work experience section, I think it is up to you and what you feel you want graduate recruitment to know about you!

I think they sent out a few rejections this morning, (asked on the other thread), but not sure if they do them in bulk or as and when they screen applications. No news is good news !

DLA AC for London!

They’re non-rolling and I only did my test Sunday, so imagine a few will have done the same. I’d expect to hear next week hopefully

Hey everyone, fashionably late here!

Quick question: Were the HL Lift Off WG invites automatic?

Honestly I’m not too sure. I want to say yes, and that they’ll review our applications against the WG results. Submitted my app on 22/10 and got my test link on 24/10!

 

[LawEnthus]

Sorry to hear this. Was this post app?

yep

 

[ariellaquint]

Should I contact Taylor Wessing or BCLP if I have not heard back form them following app?

I thought as much. I received mine under 24 hours.

Does anyone know what kind of questions Irwin Mitchell has in their VI? someone said they found them to be super weird which has ramped up my anxiety!

 

[anasat]

does anyone know if pinsent masons offers visa sponsorship? can't find it on the website!

 

[LawEnthus]

"With reference to a particular area of law, what do you find to be the most interesting about it? (200 words max) " is there any recommended structure for this kind of question? advice appreciated! @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre and anyone who has any insight from tackling this kind of q? thank you!
