    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Has your portal been updated yet? Mine was updated yesterday but no WG so far. This would suggest they're still reading applications and sending WGs on an ad-hoc basis. If your portal has been updated since your applications, then as far as I know that means they've downloaded your application...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi! I was just wondering - at what point is it usually reasonable to ask a firm for an update on their expected response time post-AC? For context, I did mine just over two weeks ago for a spring VS. They couldn't specify when I'd hear back other than that it'd be as soon as possible, and that I...

    Unbelievable! Did you explain your situation? I've also had firms asking me to do ACs at short notice - I'm lucky my paralegalling firm is understanding about this, but not everyone has that privilege. Either way, congrats on the AC - DLA Piper is an amazing firm, hope your AC goes well!

    What time did your Freshfields WG come through? And do you remember if your application updated on the portal beforehand?

    Yeah, they're very busy with spring ACs this week and next week. Don't worry that you haven't heard.

    Which scheme did you apply for? If it's summer then I'd expect it'll be a while yet, I could book spring ACs until 1st feb.

    Passed both rounds and got the VS offer this cycle. In the interests of fairness I won't disclose anything about the interview, but they really mean it when they say you don't have to prepare anything in advance- it's not a trick interview.

    Yeah, agreed! It can defo make it harder to gauge whether you've done well or not, but I think it does wonders for ensuring fairness and equal standards of assessments. Thank you for your insight, it's appreciated.

    How did everyone find the Skadden final interview? For me it was one-sided and based on questions they had to ask (ie pre-written I think - they moved onto the next question as soon as I finished the last). Ended about 8ish minutes beforehand to leave time for questions. It reminded me a lot...
