TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

Depends on the context. If you are saying something like “I attended an open day with Joe Bloggs LLP” then lower case. If it is the title of the event, eg “I attended the Innovation Open Day” then it is typically capitalised, although look at how the firm writes it in things that are not headings (eg how they write it in the copy of their website/brochure), and mirror the way they write it.

Thank you for this, Jessica!

Covington PFO just dropped so I think they're starting to finish up VS recruitment for winter

 

[Abgaal]

Is anyone still waiting to hear back from HSF

 

[SR99]

Does anyone have the grad rec number for A&O?

 

[Ambs123]

Does anyone know if Ashurst has finished giving out ACs? Thanks!

 

[AW_08]

Anyone else feeling a little concerned that they've heard absolutely nothing for some winter vac schemes - even those on a rolling basis?

Same here. Covington PFO. I really thought my application was good this year lol.

Anyone heard anything for Jones Day’s winter vac?

Just heard back with an interview invite - applied yesterday so quite a surprise. Hopefully you'll hear soon if you haven't already as I know they are rolling!

If a VI lasts 30 minutes and it is divided in competency, motivational and scenario questions, does this mean that each section includes 10 questions? It seems a lot, sorry but kind freaking out for the interview!

Does anyone know if Linklaters have started sending out winter vac scheme AC invites?

Yes, they have. Already counting it as a rejection lol 🤪

I did see that someone receive an invite from them on here but having said that, if previous years are anything to go by, it's still very early doors for them. I noticed on the Links application thread from last year that most people didn't start hearing back until early November, so I wouldn't be too pessimistic just yet!

Hi, I've just been invited to my first vacation scheme interview ever (with Travers Smith). Can anyone provide any tips/guidance on how best to prepare? The interview is next week 😣

I sent them an email to add some info to my app and they said they’d add it on. So it doesn’t sound like they’re finished!
