    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Congrats!!! My take on this is to let EY recruitment know about the situation. Honestly, tell them that you have another AC on that date! I’ve done a similar thing before and the law firm was really understanding about it. @Jessica Booker what’s your take on this situation?

    Hey!! Yeah unfortunately I’m just as blind into the process as you are aha! Oh no way!! How are you preparing for it? Also, it might be easier to just send me a DM via the messages, I’d probably pick that up much faster than this. Only just saw this haha

    Should I reassess my career?

    I highly recommend TCLA’s silver or gold membership! They have some fantastic resources for online tests. Have you also visited BBP’s Careerhub resources? There’s some really good ones for the online test. But, personally I would recommend TCLA’s membership courses because, before this year, I...

    @Jessica Booker @AvniD I have a written exercise coming up. I was wondering if you have any advice? I struggle with structuring my work in a way that lawyers would write their written emails or reports. I use sub-headings and in past assessment centres, I have been advised to use bullet points...

    I wouldn’t assume anything because they did say that they would notify us of the outcome in January with the assessment centres being in February and March.

    Thank you so much for this information. I’ve booked a mock interview with TCLA and my careers counsellor. So, hopefully that might stand me in good stead for the assessment centre.

    Hi Avni, Thank you for your response and I’ve not found any information on this ‘research-based’ case study, which is adding to my nervous aha. I assume it will be something to do with finding information. Thank you for adding some links to your comment. This would really help me in my preparation.

    I already emailed them about this and they said that my application wouldn’t be adversely affected by it. However, it may be worth emailing them about this explaining your situation because my situation was slightly different. I had already completed my interview with BCLP before emailing them...

    Hi @AvniD Thank you! It really does feel like that and if anything, it has given me more faith in the application process. Please do share any links to resources you may have. I think the most concerning aspects of the CMS AC is the case study. The information that I’ve been given on it is...

    CC application put on hold! I’ll hear during the week of Feb 8th if I’ve got a space onto the assessment centre. However, they have told me how to prepare for the assessment centre. I can’t tell whether this is good news or bad news?
