    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I can't thank you guys enough for the kind words. I think you're all spot on about seeing it, as far as possible, as a two-way conversation. I will read through my competency grid today and rehearse my presentation but other than that will take care of myself and try to be as relaxed on the day...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Hi guys, I have been trying for a training contract for a few years now. I have a final round interview with a firm on Friday and I am usually fairly calm but I think it is starting to dawn on me how important it is for me to nail it. I guess I am just looking for any advice for how to stay calm...

    Has anyone heard from Fox Williams post VI? Not holding out much hope as my VI was an absolute disaster but just curious.

    It is a weirdly drafted one for sure. Still nice to have good news after what I thought was a horrible horrible psychometric test. I would definitely take a live interview but I hope they give us plenty of time to prep for it as I've got so much going on right now.

    I am so happy to also be through! I read it wrong on my initial reading on the email and assumed we had been successful in getting through to the vac scheme but a re-read has confirmed that there is one more stage to go :(. What do you think it will be? A video interview?

    Pretty sure it was Exeter. Got rejected at the same stage last year which is post VI. God I hate VI's with a passion but I was sure this one went better than the last.

    I had an AC with them back in 2019. I was both an intense day but an enjoyable day. Intense more due to the fact that you're networking a lot of the day than that any of the tasks are difficult. It may well have changed since I did it but when I did there was a written task for an hour (easy...

    Mine says that yes, I am not holding out much hope now. I wasn't that confident but after such a long wait it's disappointing nonetheless.
