2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Numerius Negidius]

Has anyone who applied on the deadline received a WG invite from AG?

CMS Academy offer!!!

4 years of applying and 5 ACs later I’ve finally got a vac scheme

It's so nice to read this and clearly a credit to how much hard work you have put into this process. Well done!

Hi guys,
I have an interview with Stephenson Harwood for their Spring Vac on Monday! So pleased! I was wondering if anyone had any advice?

 

[Lumree]

Us solving law queries - but not the kind of law queries we thought:

I’m rewatching HIMYM at the moment... really hoping you’ve got some HIMYM GIFs tucked away somewhere

All I'm gonna say...

does anyone know how long Shearman usually takes too reply for the spring vac scheme?

 

[Celestie]

hahahah you are absolutely hilarious and i'd love to share an office with you one day

Aww thank you - I go by a strong belief that humour is a great way to deal with hardship and motivate yourself and those around you. I hope some law firms share this value tbh

Congrats

Yes, Cleary is rolling. I applied on the very first day of them opening applications and I received a reply 2 weeks later!

! Were you successful?

I also forgot to acknowledge the e-mail, and it did not result in rejection afterwards. I would not worry about it!

Thanks. Fingers crossed I get the same outcome!! If you don't mind me asking, how long after completing the WG did you hear back?

Don’t know but someone here already got an interview invite so I am assuming within the next two weeks they would be sending out invites or rejections.

Anyone knows how long it takes for CMS to come back post-AC?

About a week

Has anyone else been applying to DWF? Their work experience section has only 50 word limit which is quite tight!

Hey guys,

Always incredible to see how supportive you are of each other.

Just a reminder that TCLA will be down tomorrow. Initially I posted that this would be at 3pm, but it looks like this may now be from 1pm. We expect this to be down for the remainder of the day.

I appreciate this is peak time to be hearing back from law firms, so I very much apologise for the inconvenience this will cause you guys. On the bright side, this might be a nice reason to take a step away from law firm updates (at least for the day).

The reason we're going down is because the TCLA forum will be going through an upgrade to the latest forum version. As a result of the upgrade, you'll notice that there are a fair few changes to the forum - I hope much of it you will like, but I'm sure that there may be some changes that you don't like. There are also several things I can only do once the forum has upgraded, so you may notice a couple of temporarily 'unfinished' sections.

I'll start up a thread in the new forum where you can let me know if there's anything you aren't happy with/would like reverted. We'll be working hard on this over the rest of the week or two to make sure we listen to you guys and take on your feedback.

Finally, if you're a premium member, you can still submit your applications to us for review. Instead of going through the website, you can do this directly via [email protected] and we'll get back to you as normal.

Thanks and have a good evening!

Just wanted to repeat the above in case anyone didn't see. No doubt I'm still going to check TCLA multiple times today out of habit.

(PS: Quick! Read/post as much as you can in the next 45 minutes before we go down!)

If I was applying, I would focus on discussing/listing my responsibilities and tasks. Best of luck

Damn, the site being down means I actually have to do some work

Does anyone know if Gowling WLG's remuneration system is a 'lock-step' or 'eat-what-you-kill'?
Thank you
