Does anyone have any specific advice for the Forsters interview? I’ve read that it’s CV-blind, motivation and commercial awareness based? Is this roughly correct? 🙂- James Wakefield

Has anyone had a law interview where they think their answers were good but the interviewers seemed cold? There was a bit of an awkward silence too at the end of mine, after I’d asked a couple of questions back. Wondering what to think as this isn’t my first interview and if anything, I was...- James Wakefield

I don’t know for DTC but I suspect it may be automatic for the VS. I got mine the next morning after I applied, having sent off an application pretty late, so I doubt they read it. It may technically be a next stage based on some automatic check- e.g., did the applicant meet the minimum grade...- James Wakefield

They previously asked you to summarise an article as part of the application in previous cycles. I started working on an app last year but didn’t submit it. I think the article was on yachting and you had to summarise its key points. Now that a lot of people would just use ChatGPT, they’ve...- James Wakefield

In a similar situation. I fear they don’t sent out rolling rejection to those post-VI, so this is likely to be a PFO. People have already had vac scheme offers so it’s not looking great.- James Wakefield

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
From their perspective, it does make some sense. They can only invite so many to AC and all of the candidates they are considering at that stage will be strong on paper. One of the distinguishing factors they’ll have is whether someone was rejected after interview before and that’s an easy (but...- James Wakefield
