TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I worked as a paralegal for one year after graduating and my interview questions were standard competency ones (time-management, successfully prioritising tasks, teamwork, etc) and then some which were more specific to the organisation. I think most firms will understand (especially if you have...- legallady123

Hi, I think the email is generic and from their mailing list :) it has an option to unsubscribe at the top - I don’t think it is anything to do with applications!- legallady123

Hello :) can anyone tell me whether firms care about your first year grades if you received a good degree classification overall? I graduated with a First from a Russell group university but my first year grades are very bad. I do have mitigating circumstances (but they were not applied at the...- legallady123

Has anyone sat the Taylor Wessing online tes? Would appreciate any tips 😊 I also wondered whether they consider the test results in conjunction with your written ap or if it is purely test results after the online application stage?- legallady123

Evening 🙂 I plan on applying to Taylor Wessing and have completed all of my answers in a word doc. I note that their Spring VC application closes on the 1st of November, and the summer one closes on December 1st. Seeing as they recruit on a rolling basis, would I be at a disadvantage to apply to...- legallady123

I completed the tests 3 weeks ago, and, if I remember correctly, they take around 1 hour and 15 mins in total. It is the Cognify first, then the Emotify and last is the values test. You have the option to click “begin” before each test, so you probably can take time in between, but imo there...- legallady123

Hi, just wondering how difficult the NFR test is before beginning an application. The deadline is very soon, so unsure whether it will be enough time to prep. Can anyone advise me on what kind of format the tests are? Are they similar to Ashurst cognify? Thanks :)- legallady123

Hello :) thank you very much for your helpful response. I have started applying already and do believe that 15-20 applications is a realistic target within this cycle. It is true that rejection is part of the process and that even great applications don’t always succeed. I do believe a lot of...- legallady123

Hello 😊 how many applications are people doing? This is my first round of London applications and I’m nervous about how competitive they are.
