    I also haven’t heard back for CRS London placement scheme post-app. I applied deadline day. Really thought it was one of my strongest and super tailored, so am a little disappointed tbh

    Thank you so much, this is so helpful! I’m just wondering how I can prepare on the commercial awareness front, as I’ve completely slacked on that. Thanks again!

    Has anyone heard back for CRS’s summer vacation scheme? I know people have got VIs but I’m trying to figure out whether they’re doing spring and then summer or whether it’s all sent out in one go

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi, I have an AC coming up next week. I wanted to get some thoughts on how to prepare for a CV-blind and application-blind interview. In such a case, can I recycle my answers from my applications, or is it unwise to do that? Similarly, how much in-depth research should I do into the firm? It's...

    Sorry to hear that :( I finally managed to progress after a VI after getting continually post-VI PFOs last cycle (for law and non-law jobs). I’d say the biggest thing is practice, practice, practice—especially for the big three questions! @Andrei Radu’s post on competency interviews was...

    If it’s for summer, no. They sent out an email in January saying they’ll get back to us in mid-February. No idea for spring

    Thanks so much for your detailed response, it was so so helpful!! Checked my allhires and got nothing so I’m going to assume PFO for their vac scheme, but fingers crossed for their TC!

    Hi, thanks! Yeah just got the email, did the VI on the 17th. I was assigned the first AC so I think they’ll be sending it out in batches. I think roughly 25 people got it!
