Yep, happened to me as well. I applied on Sep 30, and could see my commercial awareness answer before it disappeared on 17 October lolol I think you’re fine, but do message grad rec in case :)- Adrian_S

Does anyone know if Watson Farley & Williams’ VI is automatic? I applied on Saturday and am quite surprised at how quickly they’ve responded to me. I also don’t have any business attire, because I’m visiting family and am unsure how to carry out a VI without more professional clothing 😬 Would be...- Adrian_S

Yep, I think @Asil Ahmad is right. Also in terms of SJTs more generally, I read this in an article recently: “Situational judgement… assessments measure suitability rather than ability, so applicants who don't get through to the next stage of the recruitment process have not failed; rather...- Adrian_S

Definitely! That's a pretty big deal and I suspect that if everything else in your application is filled out, they might wonder why one of your answers is missing. One thing I've learnt from numerous mishaps is that it's always worth reaching out to grad rec - hoping it works out for you :)- Adrian_S

Yep! It does - well done! I just got the SST too and applied on 13 October; and now it’s time for me to blow my chances completely because I suck at SJTs 🥳- Adrian_S

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
This might just be my preference, but I think it's possible to fit in at least 2 (and maybe even 3) points within a 200-limit word count. Part of the reason why some firms impose such a narrow limit is to see how succinctly and convincingly you can convey your motivations. I think 1 point might...- Adrian_S

Some people on the forum received a telephone interview invitation before the deadline, but I get the impression that many are still waiting to hear back. Good luck and hang in there :)- Adrian_S

Yes! Absolutely! There were firms that I didn't get to meet in any significant way during legal fairs or events, but who I nevertheless researched thoroughly before applying. That research really came out in my written applications and got me through to the next stage. If you can show that...- Adrian_S

I think many of us know this feeling all too well. After a somewhat mediocre first application cycle, I realised that it's important to find people who can offer encouragement and motivation. I've made good friends on this forum who've helped me pick myself up and dust myself off (instead of...- Adrian_S
