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

[Legal Chick]

For the Reedsmith VI it says ‘once you accept the invite you will see… “ not sure if that meant we had to accept the invitation first

Has anyone heard back from Mayer Brown post Job simulation?

I'm sure this has been asked before but do CMS automatically send out the WG or is the application screened/put to the next stage first?

They screen apps before sending out the WG.

Those who can see an Irwin Mitchell VI in the portal but haven’t got an email with the link, are you contacting GR or waiting?

I have just seen one in my portal but haven't had an email. I am just going to complete it this evening after work.

Someone got NRF Spring TI yet? If yes, how long after WG did you get to know you passed!?

It won’t let me complete it. Says I have to wait for an email link. 😏

Oooooh, would definitely give them a call then or drop an email. Will do the same if I cant do mine!

ah, ignore that. Apparently, the portal just doesn't like safari. On Chrome, it lets me progress.

If anyone had issues with the RS VI, grad rec have sent an email saying that they have contacted the VI platform to resolve the issues. Anyone who had issues will receive a separate email from them regarding what we have to do next! They were very apologetic and it looks like it won't have any affect on our standing within the process

Dentons WG invite

I got HSF AC and CC 2024 AC!!!!! I am legit crying!

Hi everyone,
Simmons said I had 7 full calendar days from last Tuesday to complete the tests and interview, which would mean I have to do them by the end of today. However, in a separate email, they said the link expires on the 22nd (Wednesday). Has anyone experienced something similar? Can I do the tests and VI tomorrow?

Yes GR teams are always very reasonable and accommodating when it comes to such things

I think people panicked a bit too much yesterday but of course I understand the stress when it comes to such things 😅
