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

[lawful_neutral216]

Hi @lawful_neutral216 - all those who applied after 13 December will hear back this week as mentioned in my email sent to all in December. Those emailed yesterday were notified about their video interview before the Christmas break. Hope that helps! Gemma

Hello Gemma- thank you so much for clarifying that!

Anyone know If Addleshaw recruit rolling or non-rolling?

Seems to be that they review rolling but don't recruit rolling.

Some people have got ACs for spring vac, it looks like they're sorting that out first so it might be a while

I was invited to AC towards the end of December after submitting my application around October, they do take a while!

Good luck! I think its about 6. There's 3 right at the end and then the rest are dotted around the other SJT questions.

Anyone know the difference between a case study interview and a scenario interview?? Has anyone got experience of 'scenario interviews'?

Anyone know the difference between a case study interview and a scenario interview?? Has anyone got experience of 'scenario interviews'?

Big, big difference. Case study interviews will more than likely be based on a fictitious commercial scenario or a commercial news story, with a set of legal issues, and you’ll probably be asked to identify these issues and make some recommendations to the client. It’s very heavily based on commercial awareness, identifying problems and providing considered solutions. Essentially they’re assessing your ability to problem solve, work well under pressure, and apply your own commercial awareness and research to a legal issue.

A scenario interview is very similar to a situational judgement test. They’ll read out a scenario to you and ask you what you’d do if you were a trainee facing something similar. They might then follow up with a competency. This is much more about assessing how well you match the firm’s competencies and finding out whether your behaviour/decision-making matches what they’re looking for in a trainee.

Hi everyone, How much does applying later in on an application actually hurt your chances if the firm is rolling? I.e. do they mean that they send out offers on a first-come first served basis or that they review applications during the application window, but send out offers after the deadline?

I've been really busy with work and did not have time to send applications earlier on and I am really getting nervous that it is going to hurt my chances as I have been applying about 1-2 weeks before the deadlines.

Thank you!!
