    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I’ve had a pfo since then. With Slaughters I honestly think if you haven’t heard back, they haven’t got to your application. They let you know the outcome when they can, so I’d say you shouldn’t give up hope!

    I have definitely felt the same, last year I had 6 post-AC/interview rejections with a lot of feedback about lacking confidence. I started to think I could never be good enough and that made me even more nervous going in. I finally got a VS offer at the end of last year and the main difference...

    I just looked through their news page about recent deals/work, as those are their clients, I picked from there, looked up the client and found out more using things like LinkedIn

    I have a low 2.1 (with extenuating circumstances) and got to TI last year. But even without ECs, they just ask for a 2.1 (not high/strong like some firms) so I would still apply

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    When I applied last year I just used one experience in the first question, and tried to pull out as many skills as I could from that one, things like communication and entrepreneurial skills, and I mentioned teamwork anyway. I spent 200 words on why Morgan Lewis then 100 on skills. I would try...

    Haven’t seen anything on here, the 2 I’ve seen on LinkedIn did their 1st year scheme and were campus ambassadors, so that might be why they’ve been progressed first

    My top strengths were resilience, ownership and initiative, and I got above average for all the VR sections The year I failed, it was cause of the SJT, I asked them and they said I passed the VRT - I had one above, one below and 3 average, so the sjt might hold more weight? But I don’t think...

    I just heard back a couple weeks ago and applied in October, so they might not have got to yours yet!

    When I failed in the past I got told the next day, before I even got the feedback report. I think if you pass the benchmark then they review it and your application together, but you still might not get through to the next stage

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Would it be alright to add an upcoming vacation scheme to the work experience section for a TC application? It doesn’t fit in my personal statement and there’s no additional information section. I don’t know if it’s worth it as there’s not much I can say apart from that I will be taking part and...

    Not Jessica but it depends on the firm! It might say in their FAQs. E.g. NRF, Linklaters, Hogan Lovells say they expect legal work experience (like a VS or internship), but last year I got to the final interview for Ashurst, and passed application stage for Baker McKenzie and Freshfields direct...
