TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I wish more people listened to advice like this, as when people start humble bragging, flexing, and listing off their achievements before they even ask their question (as some people always do) it just becomes so awkward for everyone else.

Complete guess here, but by mentioning the woodworking, they will be much more likely to remember it. I recently went to an event with Vinson & Elkins, and they kept referring to one of their recent trainees who talked about cheesemaking in his application.

This is a complete guess but it could refer to England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland etc, as they are recognised as countries but not as states. I imagine there are various other countries which are not states, ie possibly somewhere like Hong Kong or Puerto Rico, but I'm not sure if this is...- sammm10101
