TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

Probably based on the quick turnaround. I submitted mine on Friday

Did you get it also

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

last year they took their sweet time with rolling out test invites. I think I received mine at the end of April...

Oh I thought that ACs were usually in May? That would be quite fast turnarounds between test and VI and VI and AC in that case

 

[Livvia]

Who has any tips on passing the NRF Arctic shores test?

 

[Untilwinter]

Anyone heard back from Fried Frank?

Anyone heard back from Fried Frank?

I thought they were non-rolling and close in June?

 

[Happycloud100]

Does anyone know if Cleary will open direct TC this year again? And if anyone got hired off of direct TC for Cleary last year

ACs were in late may/early june

 

[isTeapp]

Anyone know how to pass NRF’s SJT. I kept on failing it last year.

 

[Marios Z]

Does anyone know if you have to do the Artic Shores test again if you passed it before?

 

[LegalLordLox]

Just received my feedback report from Shoosmiths SBA. Has anyone else?

A very random question - do you think some firms have preference over specific MBTI personality type(s)?

 

[VMS]

Just done the NFR Arctic Shores... I'm ranked low for 'persisting', 'over-coming obstacles' and one other... Don't think that's great 😭 But I also got some good scores for other ones that were high/I'm happy to be in the middle for. Good luck to everyone!

No preference, but I suspect certain personality types are drawn more to law and particularly commercial law.

 

[A worried final year]

Do you get a feedback report from the Mayer Brown test (with strengths etc)? I haven't got one yet if so and did it on sunday

You do but it seems to make no sense judging by my experience

Judging by the outcomes of some of my applications, I suspect they pick candidates based on their zodiac signs 🙃

Or more likely, who they want to be friends with and what boxes need ticking to ensure that.

My AllHires isn't sending the MFA code so I can't log in and I need to complete two assessments ASAP - anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe you have tried already but try these two things.

1) Check the all mail instead of the primary.

2) Sometimes when a lot of emails are sent from one address the newer ones are hidden and you have to click on a little grey box with three dots in it to open up the newer emails.

 

[A worried final year]

hi - has anyone received the test invite or PFO for Baker McKenzie direct TC?

I got a pfo

 

[Sened]

I got a pfo

Hey can I ask when you applied and when they got back to you?
