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

[OO28]

does anyone know how Linklaters view people re applying for direct training contract after vac scheme rejection following AC ?

Linklaters encouraged me to re-apply after I didn’t make it past the AC. However, they usually expect people applying for a direct TC to have at least 4 weeks of continuous legal experience, and they said this a few times.

I went to many events and they say 2 weeks not 4

Good to know we’re in the same boat!!! I can’t remember when they said we’d hear back? Looking at the student room discussion someone said this week? Also how did your AC go!!

I believe grad rec said this week! I really don't think mine went very well so I'm expecting a no tbh I struggled with the questions about the case study and it threw me that they didn't ask me why CC! How did yours go?

I thought the time to write the e-mail was ridiculously short!!! They asked me why CC and gave me a v thorough grilling reg commercial awareness ! But tbf the interviewers were so down to earth so that put me at ease. You’re just being hard on urself I’m sure! Good luck

If a firm recruits on a rolling basis but my interview isn't until May/June - are my chances diminished due to spaces filling up?

 

[to law or not to law?]

Quick question: What happens if I'm offered a vacation scheme but are unable to do it due to working full time?

 

[CF12345]

In an interview is it good to mention specific names of people you have spoken to at events?

 

[GXA123]

No - rolling basis tends to apply to application screening rather than interviewing.

sorry if this question has been asked before but how is the best way to go about emailing for an update on an interview outcome (been 2 weeks since) because you need to confirm/reject another employment offer ASAP that clashes with the dates of the place you interviewed at? thank you!
