    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I'd wait a week from your test and then email letting them know that you were told to expect to hear back about your results on the same day/day after you took the WG and are checking in about the same. Like @George Maxwell said, the wait can be agonising, which is why I'd wait the week out of...

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

    Sometimes there are objective, administrative reasons for why a firm may choose not to go forward with your application- the volume of applications, a grade or work experience here or there, a single error. Once you tune yourselves to understand that the application process can be really...

    Sorry to hear that you've been struggling with SJTs- these tests can be so hard and frustrating to crack, but the fact that you guys made it to the SJT stage, which less than half of all applicants do generally, is a testament to your abilities and skill. When you feel ready, please feel free to...

    I'd not take it as a signal of either a yes or a no- it may lead to making too much out of what the firm perceives to be a simple administrative procedure. I know the wait is so hard and anxiety-inducing, but hang in there! You've got this! 💪

    Thanks for letting me know! I'm guessing the presentation exercise is similar to a case study interview in that it requires you to identify and analyse an issue/set of issues and present your solutions to it/them? I recently made a really detailed post here that has all the tips, resources and...

    They might! If you got rejected at the application stage, then they may check your old application against your new one to evaluate if you demonstrate some sort of progression, either in your grades, work ex or answers. The likelihood of this is probably low though.

    I'm so sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your VIs but maybe it wasn't as bad as you think it was? The fact that you made it to VIs shows that you did really well on your written application, which is the hardest part for many people so you should be really proud of yourself for that 👏...

    Using the same examples is absolutely fine if you've 1) drawn newer, stronger reflections from them 2) structured your new answer better so that it reads differently than your previous answer and is more convincing. Definitely use STAR/CAR for the structure too and add in detail that the...
