TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

I think it means end of the day tomorrow. It would make the most sense especially since they sent the invite on the 9th so last Tuesday, giving a week to do it.

I thought so too- it’s just a bit ambiguous. Will try to get it in this evening to be on the safe side. Cheers

Hi, is there anyone who had an interview with Faegre Drinker and could share some tips and whether know if the interview is the last stage for VS?

Has nrf given out all their offers?

 

[legal1803]

Just finished the SH assessment. The interview questions were fine and I had answers but I sounded so nervous and stumbled on my words a few times. How important do you guys think this will be? So disappointed in myself

How would you answer the question of where a law firm should open a new office?

Has anyone heard anything for the Macfarlanes summer vacation scheme after an AC in March?

How would you answer the question of where a law firm should open a new office?

Consider what makes sense for the firm’s business model. For example, if the firm has particular strengths in shipping, consider bigger picture aspects like the geography of the location (land-locked or easily accessible due to many ports) or the overall client demand in the area and considerations its clients will have in the new location I.e the new location’s tonnage and import tax regulations, geopolitical instability which will affect supply chains etc. Try to break answer down in component so the person reading your answer can make sense of your thought process.

Hope this helps!

Me neither! Emailed them today as well. No point worrying about it though, its out of our hands and as someone once said 'Worrying is about as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum'!

Hey! Did they ever get back to you?

The SH assessment says it includes numerical & verbal as well as scenario based reasoning questions. I checked the practice test but wasn't sure what the best way is to prepare for it. Any advice?

Also anyone who's already done it can you confirm its untimed?

Thank you!

Thank you!

It is untimed for both VI and SJT- advice would be to look up firm values when answering

I would just wait and see! No point in negative speculation...they may not have sent out all their assessment invites just yet. Fingers crossed for you!

Has anyone heard back from RWK Goodman post-Application for the Vacation Scheme?
