TCLA General Discussion Thread 2022-23
It is just a polite expression - I use it all the time when interviewing people and meeting them etc. It can very massively between firms, unfortunately. It can be anything from hearing back the same day to not hearing back for a couple of months until all the interviews are completed. I would...- TCLA Community Assistant

This is where it gets a little bit complicated, as it depends on the situation. To understand when or when not to capitalise a job title, this article is helpful; Capitalization of Job Titles: When Is It Necessary? (yourdictionary.com) Something like "banking paralegal" would be capitalised if...- TCLA Community Assistant

I would contact the firm and speak to them by explaining you need to decide on another WVS by the end of week, and therefore is there any chance they can update you ahead of then.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
The extra information section in an educational section sounds like a good place to include such detail, but I have seen plenty of others put such information in elsewhere. They will often be included in "prize, awards and scholarships" questions, or people reference them particularly when the...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Many interviews are done virtually these days where many of the interviewers are working from home. You could ask whether the interview could be done in person (and there is no harm in asking) but just be prepared for them to say that it will have to be conducted virtually for whatever reason.- TCLA Community Assistant

I had a look at the document - but it's not entirely clear. I am assuming they want you to bring 2-3 points that would constitute your answer for one of the application questions.- TCLA Community Assistant

Slaughters may want an extended reference, but it doesn't mean they get one.

I'd speak to the WVS firm first or explain that is why you would want to move to summer (they could say no to that too though - especially if they think there is a risk of you reneging your summer scheme or if they feel they might waste a spot on you).- TCLA Community Assistant

Possibly - but they have a right to decline this extension at the same time. They need to try and fill their roles. Unless there is something in your summer VS offer document to say you can’t do this, you could potentially accept and then renege the earlier TC offer if they didn’t extend the...- TCLA Community Assistant

You can talk about a variety of points within the sector, but just make sure there is a depth of analysis rather than listing what areas will be affected. You need to explain why it is going to be the greatest opportunity/challenge.- TCLA Community Assistant

Open day: quick question on note-taking etiquette
It is quite normal for people to take notes when sitting down at a table - and that is fine to do so. Just some times with open days you are moving about and not sat in one place, and sometimes talking to people while standing up which could make note-taking on a laptop tricky. But you could...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA General Discussion Thread 2022-23
I think this is fine. You may just want to tell the person you are listening to that you'll be taking notes on your phone. I'd also try to keep taking notes (whether on the note pad or a phone) to a minimum while you are talking to/listening to the person speak, and then write up your notes...- TCLA Community Assistant

No - it really isn’t as simple as that due to the differences between firms. You can potentially showcase yourself as a competitive candidate, but different firms value different things in candidates, and your motivations for one firm will be different to the next. Combined with different...- TCLA Community Assistant
