TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
Ah gotcha, ok it just seemed a very strange and notable emphasis on 'this region' given they are such a global firm. You know what it's like, we are supposed to very clearly address every part of the question, and directing part of my limited-time answer to why I would want to be a CC Lawyer in...- TakeAChanceOnMe

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
Annoyingly, my previous message has been deleted because I disclosed the CC video interview question, even though they disclose it to us well in advance! So it's no more of a secret than any other application question. Back to the point - @Jessica Booker or anyone who can help - was hoping for...- TakeAChanceOnMe

Taylor Wessing Application
Thank you for this. Question: Taylor Wessing's website has a video emphasising the need to prepare for any online tests or assessments. Yet I can't find anything about the test they administer, other than in the forums here. I only know, therefore, that TW requires some sort of 'online games...- TakeAChanceOnMe

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your query - but does anyone know whether the character limit includes spaces? PRAYING not. I hate to email them to ask, it is such a silly question.- TakeAChanceOnMe

Clifford Chance single essay question
I recently finished my CC application and was ready to submit it. However, feedback from friends suggests (and I agree) that it now reads quite densely, abruptly, and heavily from the start. I am (of course) absolutely maxed out at 500 words and have tightened the wording so much that it is...- TakeAChanceOnMe

Clifford Chance single essay question
Hi all - yes I am struggling with this too. Is it enough to say: This was my Situation, Task, Action, Result. And of course, display a link to the core competencies within the task, action or results. But importantly - without actually linking it back every time to say 'this will help me as a...- TakeAChanceOnMe

Forage description in Work Exp section - how detailed?
Jessica - do recruitment teams actually look at the answers you've submitted during your Forage work experience? I'm doing one right now and found one of the tasks pretty tricky. I feel I could have done a better job if I'd spent MUCH more time on it, time that wasn't probably worth it given my...- TakeAChanceOnMe

The value of Insight/Open Days?
Hi Natasha - (or anyone who wants to weigh in here) I have been rejected for a few Open Days now, most recently Latham and Mishcon. This is pretty gutting, after all it's just an Open Day. I was sincerely interested in these firms, which I expressed after lengthy and sincere firm research...- TakeAChanceOnMe

Latham & Wakins Open Day 2023-4
I had never done a VI before and was not ready for that AT ALL - totally flubbed it. My answer did not at all represent my speaking abilities. But am hopeful regardless, as I think on the rest I did well. I agree, I had never expected quite so much work for an Open Day application. I am happy...- TakeAChanceOnMe
