    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    After AC? I've yet to hear back from them post application (which I made in October). I've pretty much accepted what the outcome will be, just wondering if they will send me an email about it or not!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I also just completed a one week vacation scheme - I would say wait until the scheme begins because one week-long vac schemes are incredibly packed. You won't be able to give the associate/partner a time or even a day until the scheme begins, so maybe hold off until then? Having said that, if...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I recently completed two Vero checks and for both I outlined main work experiences in the work experience section, and then used the additional information section to note down other experiences (e.g. open days). This seems to have worked fine so far, as I guess if they want more information on...

    I don't remember how long my answers were, but breaking it down rather than saying it as one long reason definitely helps. For example, there are three main reasons why I am drawn to this firm. Firstly... etc'

    Lol thank you 😂 I attended a grad rec zoom call sometime in Jan and they said that if you hadn't heard back they would consider you for Spring/Summer, so I didn't email them until last week when they said that everyone would hear the outcome soon!

    Thank you - I thought as much but just wanted to double check in case I had missed something with the SQE! :)

    I was thinking the same thing because some of these experiences happened years ago and I was only with the firm for a few days to a week (for work experience etc) - surely it's better to provide a reference? Maybe you can enter one in the additional information section on the Vero form?

    Question on the back of this - as a non law student I would need to do some form of a conversion course so I would start this in September 2023 and then do the SQE in 2024 right? Just want to triple check this!

    I received them yesterday around midday - I'm doing the spring scheme. Maybe they're sending the summer ones afterwards?

    Well I've heard that using silence can sometimes be an effective tactic so I guess it depends on how they interpreted it! Don't worry, fingers crossed it all goes okay :)

    Completely agree! I always seem to do better when I have 'prepared' less. Obviously do still need to know enough about the firm, but when I don't prep my answers in advance, I always do better. I think it is because ultimately an interview is just as much about being able to answer the question...

    Nope - I did email last week to ask though and this was the response: 'Unfortunately we won’t be in a position to provide an outcome in advance of the beginning of March. This is so we are fair and consistent across all candidates.'
