    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi sorry I didn’t see this earlier! I had it on Friday and it was in person. The interview itself was very informal/ conversational and it felt like they were trying to get a sense of my personality/ fit more than assessing anything. Honestly I really don’t know how the interview went, I feel...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica! Sorry this might be a dumb question but I have a question regarding how to input grades. For the past two years, my university has given us grades that have been rounded to one decimal place. Most applications won't let me input grades that aren't whole numbers so I've been rounding...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Haha I remember doing these two questions and getting confused as well! For inference section of the WG you're allowed to use some common sense/ general knowledge.

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows whether Simmons & Simmons considers the application form along with the SJT when sending out VI + test invites. The question they had on their application form was quite a common one and since I'm still in the process of writing applications I just want to...

    Herbert Smith Freehills App

    I just checked and it now says my open day application is also under review. I think there might have been a glitch with my account because when I signed in they made me reset my password. Do you think it's worth emailing the Graduate Recruitment Team about it or should it be fine?
