TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Miss Chocolate]

I applied last year, they only send tests out to a number of applicants but they should email you a PFO. However, I applied back in October and still haven’t heard back so maybe they’re not sending out PFOs this year.

Which company is this for if you don't mind me asking?

One thing I always do is I listen to how the partner introduces themselves about the practice area/sector they work in if I do not know who is interviewing me before the interview. If I do know, I research them and ask tailored questions again regarding their work. But don’t ask questions for the sake of asking them - if you don’t have an ounce of interest in something, dont ask as this will be disgenious. Hope this helps!

Thank you!

I’m so sorry, this was meant to be a reply to your question about SH but I got the two questions confused. 😭

Hey guys, hope to get some advice. I got an AC for a VS but as I am based outside the UK, I have to fly to the UK and it is very costly. I do not think the firm offers virtual AC due to the format of the AC. I have already accepted the AC invite in-person a while back as I was very eager for the AC. Should I ask if I could do the AC virtually even though I doubt this is an option, and would requesting this now put the firm off? Is it advisable that I fly to the UK for the AC? Thanks.

Group exercises typically form a part of the assessment at a law firm assessment centre. How common is it for lawyers at a law firm to work together as a group under timed conditions all sat together at a table and for someone to time-keep?

Can I ask when you both did the test? I did mine in about mid Jan and still haven't heard back

Did anyone who applied to DWF for the SVS get invited to the VI/next steps? Aware they were recruiting for social mobility schemes too, so wondering if they have already found a bunch of great candidates?

Akin PFO post-test

I have no idea why they made you wait so long, after I took the test, they rejected me 5 days after... or maybe its cause I scored so low lmao

 

[S87]

Are you guys applying to Paul Hastings vs, just tc or both?

For those who got the Akin PFO post test and for those who got to the TI stage, what were your test strengths and weaknesses?
