TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

[corplaw0702]

If I recently started a part-time internship (commercial), should I alert the firms I already applied to? Any perspectives are appreciated, @Jessica Booker

Do they offer feedback at all? I assume they might not but there's no harm in asking. There were so many elements and those tests were shocking so do not beat yourself up! Onwards and upwards

Afraid not! The email they sent specifically mentions they don't offer feedback at this stage. A bit of a bummer but oh well.

Is it worth mentioning work experience that I am about to start or just started in an application?

Hi, I've done this before. I just put the details into the additional comments box rather than listing it as a work experience.

I got a WG invite for CMS last week! Have you heard back?

I did - I did the WG on the weekend but haven’t heard anything yet!

 

[jungkook]

Has anyone heard back from Bird & Bird post-WG?

Have you heard back from Bird & Bird? I am still waiting

Not yet! I took my WG on 3rd Oct for reference

'The deadline for this interview is 20 October 2021 (GMT+01:00)'. Does anyone know what this means?

Hey, has anyone received any updates on Travers Smith Winter Vacation application? I dropped them an email, but no reply yet, so I was wondering if anyone has any news?

I would say make sure to post it on Linkedin as they do check your profile and you can always mention it in a video interview or the AC. I think it won't affect the process massively as if you pass to the other stages it becomes a cv blind process.

It really depends on the firm if they use a CV blind process. I've had interviews and they've quoted my module grades etc to me so very much not CV blind at all

most of them are, so please double check the firm you are applying to @corplaw0702

If you started it already, I would say add it to the work experience section as it shows you are doing new things up to date!

No - just leave it and if you get to the next stage, then you can update your application.

Hiii so, everyone who has applied for Clyde and Co summer vac scheme- were there application questions? ie “why Clyde and co” “why law” etc ???
I was on a call with Clyde and Co grad rec today and apparently there’s been some glitches with their system where sections aren’t appearing. So now I’m paranoid that they didn’t appear because of a glitch and I’ve consequently submitted an incomplete app lolll

Mine had 16 SJT/VI questions from the tabs (including one practice video q) and three more video questions at the end - if we had the same number of questions then should be fine?

I can confirm same for me!

 

[Asil Ahmad]

For Clyde and Co video assessment is it just like the Linklaters capp assessment or is it a video interview

 

[violeta]

I can confirm same for me!

just to clarify, are you talking about the actual application on CVmail? Because mine has no questions so I just assumed they asked about your motivations to apply to Clyde & Co in the VI?

I think this is how it is supposed to be. the video interview is automatic so basically you will be answering the questions for the application form in videos.
