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

Dentons Watson Glaser invite (app submitted mid October) but no indication of the test deadline. Any ideas?

Just got an e-mail back from Grad Recruitment on that - we have six days from the day of this e-mail

is the Akin Gump critical thinking test automatic or is it the next stage of the recruitment process??

You’ve passed the app stage

Definitely not automatic- I haven't received one yet

Hi! Does anyone know if A&O's grad rec team reads the emails sent to them, or must we telephone them as their automated reply email (containing a list of FAQs) asks us to telephone them directly if our queries have not been answered by FAQs provided? thank you!!

 

[George.E.]

Anyone heard from EY yet? Or know of a contact email to ask when we would hear. Would have to book the day off work if I got on the Experience Day next week!

I haven't heard anything either, but I have used this email address in the past when contacting them: [email protected]

Travers PFO weirdly looks like able to reapply in Summer

They just posted on their Instagram that we can apply for the summer vacation scheme!

 

[shadow-demon]

I asked NRF'S grad rec team to tell me how I scored on the WG but they told me that they cannot do it. Is it fine?

Some firms are happy to give them to you, other firms have a policy of not doing so. It is entirely at their discretion.

 

[Phoenix for all]

Is anyone still waiting for Travers PFO? That feeling of my application isn’t even worthy of a PFO is truly horrible (I know it’s most likely just an IT issue but still…)

Did anyone attend the Clyde & Co AC today? I hope it went well for you! Are you able to give any insight on how long each aspect of the AC was? I am really unsure what to expect from the interview in terms of how long it is going to be! Thanks

If you log on to TopScore it has the schedule on there

Do you think a typo in the work experience section will mean my application is rejected? I applied for Reed Smith Summer so still need to do SJT

Most likely they'll send you all the resources/info you need before the day. Their open day is amazing, have a great time!

Ashurst PFO - two in a day
I will never get over how brutal this process is

 

[M777]

Ashurst PFO... this cycle is rough

Ahh I wish I knew about their open day; I would have loved to find out more about them, especially as you say it’s amazing!

I wonder why this is? Surely if they don’t want to interview me for the winter scheme, they aren’t going to want to interview me for another scheme which has more applicants? They have definitely read my application based on when I submitted it so unsure where to go from here
