TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

Hi everyone, two questions:

1. Is it fine to ask for details about your interviewers from graduate recruitment?

2. Is it useful to know background information about your interviewers. If so, how do you bring up that you have done research on your interviewers in a way that is non-stalkerish lol

I received an email from them just now, that they'll give me an update on my application soon. I don't know what to make of it

Has anyone heard back from Reed Smith post VI if you did yours by or on the 12th of July

 

[JasmineM9]

Any W&C VIs today?

 

[SR99]

Did the VI for RS on 12th July and got invite to AC!

 

[UB1967]

Did the VI for RS on 12th July and just got invite to AC!

That’s great! Congratulations!! If you don’t mind, how far apart are the AC dates from when you get the invite? Do they give you options for dates?

What was your VI score and also, what are the AC dates?

Hi, has anyone done the W&C VI and is willing to trade insights? Can help out with other firms like Reed Smith and other US firms!

Also as a wider question, are VI Questions typically the same for firms' Vac Scheme and Direct TC applications?

When did you hear back from RS? They seem to send out invites at the end of the work day.

Burges Salmon just came back saying I’m on the reserve list for AC!!! Not too sure how I should feel about it 😂 mixed feelings now

 

[Internationalsolicitor]

Has anyone submitted their RS VI on 12th July and not heard back? I haven't received any email but I understand some have already received AC invites / update from RS that they'll get back.
