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

[F99]

Received CC PFO, I'm now curious if anyone that received the 'profile of interest' email has actually moved to the Watson Glaser stage or if it was just a polite way of rejecting applicants early on?

Second this! So far haven't heard of anyone who got the profile of interest email last Friday getting a WG. Did anyone?!

Anyone got CMS AC offers yet? Wondering how long they take to progress candidates through the stages

Did you have the mini WG at the end of the test also if you don't mind me asking.

At the end of the capp test yes. Just did the full WG as well, feeling all Watson Glasered out now!

Has anyone heard from BCLP after submitting the test! If so, how long did it take and did you a confirmation if you passed the test after receiving your report (or do they review your application holistically with your answers?).

Plus you got to do another WG in the next 5 days.

I wouldn't necessarily worry. When you look at their agile working policy, it could be argued that all of their competencies are key to a career in commercial law. I'm sure you will be fine!

Still waiting! Been about 3-4 weeks so far since the VI. It says ‘reviewed’ on my portal but that’s about it

just was wondering if you sit the watson glaser test for a firm, only that specific firm can see your score right? like that test score doesnt serve for any other firm you apply for that cycle which also requires the watson glaser test?

Hi @Sandrr_O!

Apologies if this has already been answered, but yes only that firm can see your score. From my understanding the results you produce are only accessible to the firm asking you to take that specific test!

Very happy to answer any follow-ups! How have you been finding WG tests so far?

For some general WG tips I would highly recommend checking out the links in @AvniD's post here

Took about 5 weeks for me to get to AC after my VI last year so will probably be a similar timescale!

Ngl think I read on here that someone who got to AC had that as their lowest attribute so wouldn’t worry at alll

Has anyone done the CMS video interview?

Definitely only applies to the firm you have applied to due to data protection. You’d have to sign something saying who else the data could be shared with, but I can’t think of any instance where this happens. The test provider also makes far too much money making you do the test multiple times with different organisations, so it wouldn’t be in there interest to cross sell your data in this way either.

Last year the earliest AC offers were sent out Dec 22nd. I assume a similar timing this month

Anyone know when Dentons starts sending out ACs post-phone interview?
