Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
From what you have said, I am not overly convinced the achievement is the essay competition. If anything the achievement seems to be more tied to promoting the cause. The achievement can be anything though - it doesn’t need lots of steps. It just needs to show one or more of the following -...- TCLA Community Assistant

I don’t know if it is rolling or not. But I would apply anyway. You haven’t got anything to lose but a bit of time.- TCLA Community Assistant

Accelerated LPC and Visa Concerns
Yes - the skilled persons visa is the visa you would be put on. It replaced the Tier 2 visa. The firm should really be clued up about this in all honesty. If you were working outside of your home country and the U.K., then be mindful you are likely going to need to return home for the visa...- TCLA Community Assistant

This information isn’t readily available unfortunately. The Legal Cheek information is probably the best source. You could always email the firms you are interested in and ask them directly.- TCLA Community Assistant

pre employment checks for VS/TC
So for instance it says 05/21 to 08/21 when it should have been 05/20 to 08/20?- TCLA Community Assistant

Accelerated LPC and Visa Concerns
The visa process changed in January 2021 and it is no longer an issue if you have a gap between visas like it used to be pre 2021. Most firms start the visa process ahead of your LPC results anyway (they have to due to the time needed to apply for the visa), so I don’t see why the results being...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
You don’t have to link it to the firm in your answer, but I would choose something the firm would also be interested in. That doesn’t mean it has to be something directly they work on or a practice area strength - it could just be something that impacts their client base or even how they work as...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I would try to align it to what the firm looks for in its hires or the firm’s values more broadly where possible, but still making sure you focus on your strengths - fitting to this shouldn’t be at the expense of showing your key strengths and your actual character. With a cover letter, remember...- TCLA Community Assistant

I wouldn’t try to overthink these questions - what they are looking for isn’t anything hidden or purposely tricky. The first is about what you think will drive you if you were to work at the firm, the second is about demonstrating your unique skill set, and the third is trying to see whether...- TCLA Community Assistant

If they allocate interview slots after the deadline, then yes no disadvantage. If they mean allocating roles, then there could be a slight disadvantage as interview slots could be booked up.- TCLA Community Assistant

CMS Application Question 2021
I don’t think it necessarily just has to be related to how we have changed working because of Covid (although this is often what is used in the applications), it could just be other factors that have influenced how we work (eg green agenda). I would make sure there is also a clear reference to...- TCLA Community Assistant

Detail what you have applied to and state your full name clearly, and just ask (with a please) if they could provide an update or timescale as to when you will hear back. No need to put anything much more than that, unless you are sat on other offers that would stop you from taking up the...- TCLA Community Assistant

Work experience reference check
Wait until you find out if you have been invited to interview and then update the firm at that point. I’ll be honest, such discrepancies on applications will not look great as ultimately each one will be considered an error, but one where your integrity can be brought into question. It really...- TCLA Community Assistant

Work experience reference check
I’m self employed and have to provide similar references so probably a good person to answer this from a candidate perspective and a recruitment perspective.
