TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
1) just explain the stage you got to. The firm might not be able to check depending on their data retention policy and how long ago you applied. A lot of data gets wiped (which is why they ask). 2) Your answers to things like work experience sections will obviously be identical as they won’t...- TCLA Community Assistant

The SQE is making this slightly more complicated unfortunately. What has happened before might not be the case of it happening again (depends on when the firm is asking you to do the SQE assessments too).- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

You’d need to consider applying for qualified lawyer roles (and taking the SQE). You don’t need qualifying work experience alongside the SQE examinations if...- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d expect the first interview to be more focused on the article then. I would expect the second interview to be more competency based/motivational based. However, the article interview could be a hybrid of article, competency and motivational.- TCLA Community Assistant

Probably nothing to do with you as an applicant. It is more likely to be either 1) resource - unfortunately there are not enough graduate recruiters in the market these days, and if someone has left the team it could easily be that they don’t have the people to run the ACs for the time being...- TCLA Community Assistant
