TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
It can be an activity or hobby - but make sure if that is the case that it is something you can talk about (eg not just a passing hobby). You should also ensure you don’t try to use the answer to demonstrate your skill set through that hobby (this is not what the question is wanting from you)...- TCLA Community Assistant

Forage explicitly state that when you complete the programme you should not claim it at work experience. You also can’t claim it if you haven’t done it, even if you are pretty sure you will do it in the future. Yes - you can include events/seminars put on by people who are not universities/law...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
You should always give the question a go. Even if you can’t remember the specific details of a module, you are likely to remember some of the context/theme, so I’d try to piece them together. If you are really still unsure, then saying something like “in all honesty, this isn’t a module I...- TCLA Community Assistant

White & Case Open Day 2021
I’ll be honest, if it is happening on Tuesday it’s unlikely to be an invitation to the day at this late stage.- TCLA Community Assistant

TC offer and current job
Personally, I would only suggest telling them when you need to give your notice. If you want to give more support to the organisation, then estimate the time needed to recruit someone and give them that period of time and say you'd like to give them as much notice as possible and therefore you...- TCLA Community Assistant

I don't think subtitles are needed and would just be a waste of words (in my opinion). It might be the case if the answer was 1500 words, but at only 600 words clear sections with paragraphing will be sufficient.- TCLA Community Assistant

Agree with the earlier posts - prose is needed here but just ensure it is concise to allow you to present as many varied experiences as possible.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Hi @kapao88 I would stress that many non-law applicants will have a similar profile to you at your stage of academics. Just because you don't have any open days or VS now doesn't mean you won't in the next six months! I would not include your society experiences in work experience - these are...- TCLA Community Assistant

Pick a company that you have knowledge of. It doesn’t matter if it isn’t a big brand name - in fact it might be better to avoid the like of Apple or Amazon, just because other applicants are likely to choose these. Focus on the admire for its business strategy part. This is about showing what...- TCLA Community Assistant

I don’t think STAR is needed for this, as it isn’t a competency question. I would just focus on your responsibilities and impact/outcomes.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
It is something to use - I just advise on focusing on your efforts rather than the circumstances themselves. Yes, you’ll need to provide some context to the situation but try to keep this to the point so you can spend more of the word count explaining what you did rather than what you experienced.- TCLA Community Assistant

Vacation Scheme Logistics: What should I expect?
1) not necessarily, especially if it isn’t online. You might only get this information on your first day. I personally wouldn’t ask for one. 2) no - the firm would need to get approval from everyone that they are happy for their information to be shared. Some firms do this but you would know as...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
The thing to remember is that this is not about EVERY application. It’s about the majority. For every good application received that takes 10 minutes to read, you’ll probably get 10-15 that you can decide on very quickly. We sometimes forget in this forum (because everyone is so focused/bought...- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d actually go with no selection for the first question as you are neither of the options presented. If that isn’t feasible, then choose final year non law. If you have done the equivalent of vacation schemes in India, then you should choose yes. If you haven’t, then you should choose no.- TCLA Community Assistant

It’s more about showing development in those areas or explaining why the firm you are applying to might not worry so much about that particular aspect (eg if you have been told you didn’t show enough interest in their practice areas, and the firm you are applying to has different ones). It...- TCLA Community Assistant
