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

[Jessica Booker]

I’ve been trying to get hold of Slaughter and May to get an early outcome of my interview as I’ve got another offer but I can’t get hold of them- the phone line just goes dead and the reception desk said they couldn’t help. I’ve only got 4 days to get a response before I need to respond to my other offer- does anyone have any advice?

These are the email addresses on their website - I would email them with a title that makes it clear you need an update by the end of this week.

You could also guess the email address for other members of the GR team based on the format above.

Did anyone hear back from Gibson or Irwin? This year ghosting is brutal!

I'm still waiting for Gibson. I'm hoping it's not in vain. I've seen a bunch of people already get vac scheme offers

Has anybody had experience with DLA Piper's telephone interview and has any preparation tips?

Telephone interview? I wasn’t unaware this was part of their recruitment process. Which scheme did you apply to?

omggg I just got the call from Linklaters, I passed the AC for the Singapore-London TC! Partner interviews with the Singapore office next, if anybody could give some tips for this interview (as I've never interviewed with Singapore firms before) I would greatly appreciate it!

So appreciative of TCLA's resources and support as this is the 2nd AC I've passed this cycle and I was really in a rut the past 2 years when I could never get past the final stages.

Hey! Did anyone here attend the Future City Lawyers Intro to Private Equity Webinar and would be willing to share their notes or the slides? I was feeling really unwell and couldn't make it.

Congratulations! When did you do the online assessment? I only did mine on Sunday so I don’t know if I should consider it a PFO yet?

If you're writing a legal advice note to a client for an AC, what's the best way to sign off?

 

[Amanpreet Kaur]

Hiya, I'm just wondering with TC direct apps, when is recommended to submit them? Seeing as the application window is so wide
