TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

[Jessica Booker]

@Jessica Booker
what does it mean when you apply to a firm and you are repeatedly being searched by people from that firm on LinkedIn? At first, I thought it may be a coincidence but this has happened for 3 weeks running now. Should I be worried?

What type of people - recruiters or fee earners?

Can anyone help me understand the difference between the deductions and interpretations part of the WG? I'm struggling to grasp how they are different and the different approach I need to take.

Have you tried having a look at Idin Sabahipour's You Tube videos? I found the explanation quite helpful.

Kennedy’s (London Office) Situational Strengths Test invite!

Fee earners

Your CV has most likely be shared with the hiring team and they are considering your candidacy against other candidates.

Has anyone heard back about the Clyde & Co Bristol Training Contract. I did the VI assessment back in September and I haven't heard anything since.

P&C or IFPD? I applied for P&C and got PFO last week

Just got an email saying they are reviewing!

Nope, I strongly doubt any of us will hear back today, but you never know! Stay close to your phones

Has anyone else got a call or heard back from Clifford Chance AC?

IFPD, in what feels like a divine twist of irony I got a PFO five minutes after posting about it haha.

Is the situational judgement test from Kennedys automatic?

Kennedys Situational Strengths Test invite - anyone have any advice on this?

 

[Ghassen]

I’m taking the test tomorrow. I’ll let you know

Hey ! Did you do the test ? If so, how was it ?

 

[Uniknownx]

Congrats! Which Kennedys program did you apply for?

I got a SST for Kennedys too! for PL

Got Kennedys Healthcare SQE program Birmingham SJT invite today. I applied in the deadline.

I saw a couple of messages on this thread regarding the Slaughter and May direct TC. I wrote to grad rec and they essentially said that a lot of applications still haven’t been reviewed yet. I’m going to go ahead and take that as a sign that they haven’t filled up all their spots. Till now, I was just assuming it was a rejection given that it’s been over two months since the deadline.

Congrats! I got mine this afternoon for TC.

 

[NSC414]

I'm guessing if you didn't get an invite from Kennedys today you can be expecting a PFO sometime soon?

 

[Deleted member 24543]

wondering if anyone with CMS offer received a formal offer yet?
