    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I thought it was really friendly and relaxed, but the group exercise sucked. My group didnt get through the 25 pages they gave us to read in 15 mins so we scrambled a lot to figure out what was happening. The interviews were fine

    Has anyone ever had HR schedule a call before an assessment day? I’ve never heard of this before - does anyone have any idea what it might be about?

    Nope, not yet. I did my VI early last week though, so its only been a week for me

    I think so, yes. Makes sense too, they need to give you some time ahead of the AC to plan (time off work, uni etc).

    paralegals in city firms dont get any privileges either. it's bizarre, you could work in that firm for years doing the same work as trainees, yet they more often than not give a TC to a vac schemer that's been with them for 4 days - 3 weeks over paralegals doing trainee work with them for so long...

    There was 1 sort of motivation, 1 sort of competency and 1 which is meant to be commercial but it was incredibly strangely worded

    Just did the questions for the Bakers VI - I prepared 50 questions with full answers and not a single one was on the VI. Genuinely don't understand the logic behind these questions. And I was sceptical reading the previous replies, but you really cant prepare for them.
