    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I don't mind the wait as much as I mind the lack of feedback on why an application or VI was rejected. They must make notes of their own, it should be easy enough to automate the whole process of supplying relevant feedback. When they send that super generic feedback, like Bakers did, it's a...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I got a 26 this cycle which I thought met the benchmark. What irks me is that they fully claim they review application answers at stage 1 and tests and vi are selective. They have said a few times in virtual events that once they review your application, they don't look at it again and the VI...

    Maybe, just feel the addition of 'application responses' indicates otherwise.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Can someone confirm my suspicions here? I was rereading my RS pfo because I clearly have a penchant for pain and noticed the wording implied they reviewed application responses post blended assessment. My DTC pfo last cycle was worded differently. Did everyone who got a PFO post sjt and vi...

    This completely irrelevant to what you posted but I read your username as 'Hateful applicant' and now I'm tempted to change my username to that just cuz it tickled me. 🤭😅

    Bakers PFO lol I knew bashing out an application on the last two days was risky 😅🫠🥴

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I would like to assume that given they are stress testing the three 'Whys' at every stage of their process, they may expand on the answering time. I can't remember if I read anything about VI length on the premium database. I'll verify and report back. Just prep for why you, why them and why...

    I hope it's of comfort to hear* that their Amberjack has been one of the hardest this year. I saw a lot of people say this as well. In fact, I found it harder than last year's iteration. *syntax/poor grammar lol

    Some firms include commercial awareness questions. Mostly competency and scenario based questions.

    Aaaah I couldn't remember, thank you! I just wanted to see if there was any correlation with who heard for when.

    I would just not overthink. That's not going to make them rescind the invitation. Well done! Can I ask what you got for your pillars and if this is for WVS (weird that the deadline was the same as spring and summer?), spring or summer?
