    TLT's Direct TC AC has become a vacation scheme...? Anyone else in this boat?

    Yeah, it's just a bit odd because we already did all of the exercises - the presentation, the interview, the group exercise, the watson glaser - on the direct TC Assessment Day, and now we have a mini scheme. So I suppose the Direct TC applicants on your scheme at Bird and Bird had to do the...

    TLT's Direct TC AC has become a vacation scheme...? Anyone else in this boat?

    I am so confused, but grateful? I attended TLT's Direct TC AC a month ago and have been offered a 2-3 day "mini scheme" in the office in July as my final assessment, and I'm wondering if anyone else is in this boat...I know one other person on this forum is, but other than that I'm in the dark...

    Is anyone else just burnt out at this point

    You’re absolutely right. I had already realised I had to broaden my focus, thus the apps to places like Ashurst - wasn’t keen but they’d sponsor, I thought. I think enthusiasm does come through though, because it’s telling the two I really did want, Hill Dickinson and TLT, were the only other...

    Is anyone else just burnt out at this point

    I started this whole journey pretty bright eyed. Learnt the ropes, did all the open day applications, attended law fairs, applied, networked. Got two vacs first round, did the vacs at American firms. I'm American so I initially wanted to go back to America. Didn't get any TCs but it was okay. I...

    Anyone done Ashurst interview this round?

    I posted earlier about applying Direct TC to Ashurst in December 2019 and getting an invite to AC December 2020. Seemed random but I took it, and it seems the other candidates in the AC were also 2019 applicants. Normally, Ashurst does an AC with a case study, HR interview, and partner interview...

    Did anyone else get a random invite from Ashurst a year later??

    That's good advice thank you, I know it's not helpful to ruminate over numbers and I have to check myself when I do it. And to Jon no I just applied for Direct TC, haven't changed to summer vac - I'm doing the LPC this year so I don't think I would have time/be able to do the vacs under my visa...

    Did anyone else get a random invite from Ashurst a year later??

    I applied for Ashurst direct TC over a year ago and I forgot I even applied. I thought they just ghosted me because other people from my year who applied got their TC offers from them already. I’ll take it I am so grateful, just very surprised. Bit nervous as I’m out of country and left all my...

    TLT Training Contract 2020

    Okay, I'm curious if anyone else is having the same problem here. I applied for the vacation scheme, then was sent an email stating I wasn't going to be on the VS but was instead allocated place on the August AC. Months came and went, I occasionally sent emails/messages on linked in asking for...

    Hill Dickinson 2019/2020 application

    Hill Dickinson 2019/2020 application

    Okay, I emailed them and they replied that they still haven't finished deciding, for London anyway (to answer your question Will I did the London insight scheme). I don't understand though, because it seems from linked in that basically all the spots have been filled? They said it will be a few...

    Hill Dickinson 2019/2020 application

    Has anyone heard back?? I saw on linked in that someone has received a TC offer in Manchester, but so far I've seen nothing for London or any of the other offices. I'm scared they've done the calls and nobody posted about their offer...maybe they send all the rejection emails at the end. They...

    Hill Dickinson 2019/2020 application

    The questions were mostly competency based, there were a few “what would you do in this scenario” questions. Most of them were pretty predictable though, like why did you choose your presentation topic, why Hill Dickinson, biggest challenges for the firm, etc

    Online Vacation Schemes

    Thank you for saying that I appreciate it! Sometimes I get a bit insecure, people from my school seem to turn up their noses a bit that I've "downgraded" to the firms that I'm applying to - everyone at my uni goes to the magic/silver/american firms. But I really just was afraid of the "golden...
