TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
There is no need to capitalise sincerely or faithfully which ever way you go. The rule is if you know the name of the person you are sending it to, then sincerely. If you don’t know the name of the person you are sending it to (eg you are addressing it generically to the Graduate Recruitment...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Really depends on the individual circumstances. One open day with the same firm can be unpopular just due to the day/date it is run, while the next can be overly popular for the same reason. Mix in eligibility, when other firms run their events (a conflict with a direct competitor can make it...- TCLA Community Assistant

No - paragraphs will be very important. I’d find other words to remove. This thread might help you find a few words to remove that will allow you to keep the paragraph spacing in: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/how-to-get-your-applications-within-their-word-limits.3701/- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d just choose it as if you have completed your degree then. I’d probably check with the firm as to whether they consider you a non law student though.- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - it is quite a common commercial story for people to talk about. Given this, try to find a specific story within it, rather than talking about it as a general trend. ESG is a very broad topic and finding a more specific story within it is likely to make your application more unique/stand...- TCLA Community Assistant

Help - considering reneging on my TC
The LPC and TC will be a very different experience. Personally, I wouldn’t make the assumption that the LPC equates to how you will feel about the TC. However, it ultimately depends on what is really driving the frustration/boredom. I have know people who have dropped out of their TC or taken a...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
In a CV, I would avoid it as it’s usually in bullet point format, so doesn’t need to be in full “prose” sentences. In an application form, people tend to write more in a prose format, with full sentences as they can’t format their answer into bullet points. In this situation, I/we becomes more...- TCLA Community Assistant

Definitely be specific - it will make your application more unique. You don’t have to explain why you enjoy it, although occasionally people weave that in. But I’d try to get as many different examples in first, rather than going into detail about why you do it.- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d try to make sure it is balanced to ensure it answers the question, but I don’t think it needs to be 50/50. Remember with your weaknesses to frame them more as development points and show how you are trying to develop them though.- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - you aren’t expected to attend events and they are unlikely to cross reference the data between events anyway, so i wouldn’t worry if you didn’t register or didn’t turn up.- TCLA Community Assistant

us firms
One factor to consider is that there are many more people in MC firms in London than there are US firms, which may factor in to the reporting aspects. There is probably around 10,000 people working in MC firms in London alone, and where London offices tend to be much smaller for the US firms...- TCLA Community Assistant
