TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Apple]

it is advisable to do the V&E at this time of the day? I finished working and I am just back home.

I mean, if you feel you might be negatively impacted, surely waiting till tomorrow makes sense?

If anyone has had an AC at Weil this cycle, would you mind PMing me? Happy to share insights into ACs at Simmons, Slaughters, W&C and Addleshaw

Hi, no cover letter for Winstons. There are 3 application questions you need to upload on a Word doc and I think you need to upload a CV too.

Hey, where do you find those questions. I have been trying to find them.

The first step is to do some self analysis and be honest with yourself as to what you need to improve on. Make sure it has some relevancy to the type of firm/work you would be doing though.

Then try to think about how you are currently trying to improve that area now and also how you could continue to develop in that area as a trainee too. They key to this answer is really showing the proactive steps you are taking to will take in the future to improve this area.

Thank You so much @Jessica Booker . This is really helpful, I appreciate it.

Getting fed up now with HL. Honestly this is my 3rd cycle and haven't managed past the application stage. I literally did everything - their open day, virtual internship. Planning to become a billionaire at this stage so I can make law firms scramble to work for me

Did they reply to your email?

Does anyone have a spring vacation scheme offer for Bird and Bird yet?

Progressed to final interview following Kirkland AC they said they've decided to 'fast-track' some people to the training contract app process, which is just code for they're not running the vac scheme as advertised (which they haven't done for the past few years)
