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

[SCN]

Hi everyone,
Simmons said I had 7 full calendar days from last Tuesday to complete the tests and interview, which would mean I have to do them by the end of today. However, in a separate email, they said the link expires on the 22nd (Wednesday). Has anyone experienced something similar? Can I do the tests and VI tomorrow?

I'm in the same position as you. I got the email on Monday, saying from tomorrow you'll have 7 calendar days. Does that mean Tuesday included or starting from wed?

Do you guys know when we will hear back from A&O or Links?

To those who got an AC invite for CMS, did any of you apply to the Manchester/Sheffield office? I did my VI in Nov and I'm starting to think that's the end of the road for my application.

Hi, I just got the same. When you say click on the link do you mean the Get Started link in green box?

Yes! So if you click on the link and confirm the details, there should be an "accept" button which will allow you to accept it but come back to it another time!

I am definitely biased...

But I am so chuffed for you re: HSF! Amazing news!! 🥳🥳

Very happy to answer any questions in the lead up to the AC- just tag me!

In my experience it was one of, if not the, most enjoyable of the interviews I did!

Wondering exactly the same!

Two questions re A&O:

1) Does anyone know the name/email of one of the grad recruiters?
2) How many/what proportion of applicants do they filter out through the SJT?

Thanks!

For question (2), it might not be a set proportion of applicants. But usually psychometric assessments will filter out somewhere between 20-60% of applicants, but that varies massively by each firm’s individual recruitment process.I wouldn’t really worry about these type of details though.

[matpart]

I applied for HSF Spring Vac in October and have seen people who applied way later get both rejections and ACs. Does this mean anything? Should I email and ask for a follow-up?
