TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Sounds like HL may have extended the deadline. It isn’t unknown for firms to do this if they haven’t had the quality or volume of applications they would like. It is a strange time in graduate recruitment. Organisations are actually reporting a drop in application numbers - people are confident...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I’ll be frank. On an application a graduate recruiter doesn't really think about whether the research task was interesting or not. They just care that you did it. They know you will be given boring tasks in you role and therefore how interesting your past experience is, isn't really relevant...- TCLA Community Assistant

One sector focused TC vs Multi-sector TC
I'd personally suggest doing at least one seat outside on energy, just so you have an understanding of how other sectors/clients may operate. You could still do the majority of your TC in energy and still come out as a specialist but just hedge your bets and develop a wider range of knowledge.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Is it for a different scheme? It doesn't really mean much difference then to be honest - interviews are fairly standardised no matter who is conducting them - it just is less likely there will be more technical questions with someone from HR. If you are happy to disclose the firm, we might be...- TCLA Community Assistant

Genuine questions you want to to find the answers to that will help you work out if the firm is the right one for you. You can always ask for your interviewers opinion on something you just find interesting about the firm or the work they do.- TCLA Community Assistant

You don't have to make it interesting and one piece of work experience doesn't have to tick off a load of competencies. Competencies are assessed across a whole application - it's not a requirement to cover every competency at every entry.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
The time should be based on the adjustment you have had in assessments previously, which is typically determined by an educational psychologist. If you haven't told the firm what the specifics are of the adjustment you require they are likely to set a standardised 25% additional time. I am...- TCLA Community Assistant

International Students & Vacation Schemes
If you know you can apply for a visa of your own accord, then you should mention this in your application for clarity. In 99% of cases a firm won't cover the costs of a visa - in total it will be about £3-5k worth of costs. And that doesn't make sense for an intern that will only be there for...- TCLA Community Assistant

It might be worthwhile posting in the general forum to get other people’s thoughts on why they want to work with certain clients.
