    Making a late application (reviewed on rolling basis) - worth it?

    But I don't suppose there's ever a way of knowing which firms you stand the greatest chance with, is there 😅

    Making a late application (reviewed on rolling basis) - worth it?

    I understand that, however I wanted to check if it would be worth the time investment given that I could be working on other applications for firms that don't review on a rolling basis. :/ I don't want to be stupid with my limited time basically because I have a lot going on at the moment.

    Thank you so much, I was going to tag you but didn't want to bother you on Christmas Eve. :)

    Making a late application (reviewed on rolling basis) - worth it?

    Hi, So I am interested in submitting an application for a vacation scheme at a law firm (either today or tomorrow) and the deadline is 6 January. They review applications on a rolling basis. Is it even worth making the application considering I have left it so late? This is for Mishcon de...

    Requesting a zoom call on LinkedIn?

    Thank you so much - I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't come across as an entitled second-year bothering professionals lol.

    Requesting a zoom call on LinkedIn?

    I was talking to a friend who studies economics and wants to be an investment banker. He shared that when he networks and connects with people on LinkedIn, he sometimes request a quick zoom call with the other person if he wants to know more about their work. I am a law student and this to me...

    Should I be using Linkedin more? (Law student)

    When I look at some of the profiles, some lawyers at top firms just have the institution they graduated from and the firm they work at. I personally quite like that layout because it's neat, succinct and professional. I am guilty of thinking that some of the profiles look a little 'desperate'...

    Should I be using Linkedin more? (Law student)

    Hi Jessica, thank you taking the time to share this. I will definitely add the information if you think it will help. With regards to tagging recruiters and thanking them for opportunities - would it be wrong to say that by tagging recruiters, candidates are building rapport and (perhaps even...

    Should I be using Linkedin more? (Law student)

    I am a second-year law student and currently making applications to law firms. I have noticed that a lot of students in my year are always posting on Linkedin after events (even open days), tagging recruiters and summarising the events. I don't really like the app and personally find it sooooo...

    Repeatedly rejected by the same firm - how to fix?

    Thank you, Avni! Appreciate it. I really wanted to apply to Hogan Lovells and White & Case because they represent clients in constitutional and administrative disputes and that's potentially an area of interest. In general I like the variety of the work at the firms. I think my academic profile...

    Repeatedly rejected by the same firm - how to fix?

    Oh yeah, I did the same. I would have assumed that if they were going to offer an open day for the second preference, they would have confirmed this in the email. :/ Perhaps worth checking though? Have you made any previous applications to the firm? I don't know what I am doing wrong and if I...

    Repeatedly rejected by the same firm - how to fix?

    I am interested in White & Case and I made a first year scheme application last year. I submitted an open day application this year (in my second year). I have been rejected both times. I am a law student and trying to figure out what's not quite right in my applications. The hardest thing about...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi everyone! I am a first-year law student. I am new to this forum so apologies if this isn't the right place to be posting this. I have made several applications this year and so far have been unsuccessful in almost all of them. Firms, as most of you will know, are unable to provide feedback...

    CV Help - positions of responsibility & student societies

    Thank you! Truly appreciate you taking the time to reply. At the start of this term, I realised that I was pursuing certain roles for the CV building exercise rather than fully allowing myself to explore my interests. Looking through Linkedin profiles and seeing successful candidates' profiles...

    CV Help - positions of responsibility & student societies

    I am a first-year law student currently involved in a relevant society. I am on the committee. To be quite honest, I have really not enjoyed this experience whatsoever. I might be making generalisations about most student societies based on my expereince, but unless drinking and clubbing is...
