    @Jessica Booker @Amma Usman Hi!! I was checking my application for a firm I have an Assessment centre with , and I saw that the dates for 2 work experiences were marked as start 2023 rather than 2024 (I made a mistake entering the years- everything else is fine) should I flag it up? It was...

    2-3 days of work at the start, but now I have a bank of responses that work/ don’t work and I tend to reuse them when they ask “tell me about ur extra curriculars” etc and just edit for the word count/ firm so (5-6 hours- 2 research, 2 writing responses, 1 proofing / submitting).

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi everyone! I noticed that in some of my applications on vantage they didn’t save the date of my employment correctly (although I changed it for the first firm I applied too) but some firms still have the old date. I don’t know if I should flag it up to any firms or wait to see if I progress...

    STOP THATS WAS ME TOO 😭 The questions threw me off so much, like they were basic but worded so weirdly! And honestly I think PFO since previous experience with Irwin 😭

    I didn’t apply to Millbank but most responses I’ve seen are Spring ACs and they are happening next week. So summer probably will follow after.

    Honestly, I loved the fact that Kennedys VI allowed you to view your answers before the next question. Gave me confidence by saying “oh okay doesn’t come across that bad if I stumble.” Like it was a split second or two that usually would’ve thrown me off.

    Hi! Same!! I hate that most firms use it now since it’s sm harder than a real interview! Honestly so terrified of this one because they give no indication as to what to expect, i.e commercial or competency or motivational 🥲

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi! I was just wondering, when we are asked to give references to previous employers it would only be for ones with formal work experience? For example, a part-time jobs/ internships rather than let’s say a volunteering position or a society role/ mentorship scheme? Also, if I’m a tutor on a...

    Don’t worry since it’s sent now. You did what you could and it’s in their hands. If you fit the firm they will pick you up regardless of when you applied before the deadline.

    It is unnecessary by any means (and wastes space/ word count) but you should open the paragraph by indicating what it discusses. That always seemed to go well in the initial app stage.

    Yes most likely!! (But check if they record how long it takes you to do it because I saw that some firms do that on here)
