    What do you guys think about being a little cheeky in a video interview and making a small joke? I know that firms want to see your personality in the video interview and see you relaxed rather than overly rehearsed so what are your thoughts about this? Or is too unprofessional? @Jessica Booker

    same :( I thought the whole aspect of having to release last year's assessment scores very annoying. I performed quite average in those tests because it was my first time taking Eevelian assessments. With more experience, I think I would have performed better and would have had a good chance of...

    You could but I'd say some legal experience is for the most part expected- it doesn't have to be a formal vacation scheme but has to be some experience where the tasks you completed were legal tasks. For example at a Linklaters Grad Recruitment Event they said that they would like to see 3-4...

    would you say a statement such as "I believe the law firm will be the biggest law firm in the next 10 years" comes off cringeworthy?

    Is this for Gateley? How was it?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Definitely agree with this- my stress isn't about the applications but more about what happens if I don't get a training contract. Being an international student in my final year, it would potentially become even more difficult as firms won't sponsor visas for vacation schemes and many law firms...

    I emailed a firm on Monday for an update on my application after completing a second round interview on the 14th. They have not repsonded to me.
