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

[AvniD]

Hi @Jessica Booker @AvniD,
I’m a masters student (law conversion) and have applied for the 2024 Clifford chance stream, I am planning on doing another masters after my current masters. The firm has said such students above that of a final non law undergrad should have applied for 2023 ordinarily, shall I let them know in an email why I applied for 2024 instead?

I agree with Jessica! A brief email explaining your reasoning should suffice. All the best! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks, I had been told via an automated email to get in contacted with grad Rec about extra time in watson glaser. So I mentioned it when requesting the extra time but in the reply they gave the extra time but completely ignored the part about the additional masters? Not sure what to read into this @AvniD

It’s something they don’t really have to acknowledge in all honesty. You have mentioned it, that’s all you can do.

I would include everything and put them in reverse chronological order with the most recent first, so your reader can see your route.

If on a CV, you can create separate sections for different types of work experience, but that doesn’t translate as well for online application forms.

That makes sense. Thank you

Is Hogan Lovells WG automatic? or do they consider your application before sending it to you?

I think it is automatic to my understanding from the website but I could be wrong!

it’s automatic and they only review your app if you pass

Does Hogan Lovell send the Watson Glaser report after completing the test or do we need to request it from GR?

If my deadline for the CMS WG test is 11/12/21, what time on that day is it?

 

[F99]

Received CC PFO, I'm now curious if anyone that received the 'profile of interest' email has actually moved to the Watson Glaser stage or if it was just a polite way of rejecting applicants early on?

Second this! So far haven't heard of anyone who got the profile of interest email last Friday getting a WG. Did anyone?!

 

[vacschemeapss]

Anyone got CMS AC offers yet? Wondering how long they take to progress candidates through the stages

Did you have the mini WG at the end of the test also if you don't mind me asking.

At the end of the capp test yes. Just did the full WG as well, feeling all Watson Glasered out now!

Has anyone heard from BCLP after submitting the test! If so, how long did it take and did you a confirmation if you passed the test after receiving your report (or do they review your application holistically with your answers?).

 

[Asil Ahmad]

At the end of the capp test yes. Just did the full WG as well, feeling all Watson Glasered out now!

Plus you got to do another WG in the next 5 days.

I wouldn't necessarily worry. When you look at their agile working policy, it could be argued that all of their competencies are key to a career in commercial law. I'm sure you will be fine!
