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

[AW_08]

I have just received an email from Gibson Dunn saying that they are reviewing a high number of applications and they will respond to me as soon as possible. Do you think this is the first sign of a rejection letter?

I got this email as well earlier this afternoon!

I'm going to take it as a maybe! (trying to be more positive in 2022 lol)

I did the test on Monday, got my feedback report yesterday (it went to my spam folder) and then was invited to interview today.

Just got the feedback report! What were your strengths? Mine were active collaborator, pride and growth mindset

Could I get the contact for Links to ask for WG feedback? Thanks in advance

I feel like if it was a rejection they could have just sent a rejection so I wouldn’t be too cynical.

Hi all!
I just got my feedback for Linklaters' Watson Glaser test. I found out I scored in the top 5% of applicants (95th percentile), with 90% correct answers!
I've been doing really well in Watson Glaser tests recently and wanted to offer a helping hand to anyone who struggles with these. They're hard, weird, and sometimes hair-ripping-ly annoying, but I've kind of cracked a code for answering them and it's really been a huge help to me in applications.
If anyone wants to reach out, ask to hop on a call, or do some practice, feel free
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weeks!

Hi, congrats this is amazing news. Did you receive your Linklaters Watson Glaser result along with whether you passed to the next stage or did you have to email them and ask for it?

Hello! Thanks. I emailed trainee recruitment asking for it - they don't send them automatically.

Maybe since tomorrows Friday we will get some responses

Anyone who did the AC at CMS know when we can expect to hear back?

Which office did you apply to?

Is anyone else still waiting to hear from AG (Manchester)?

@LEL This could give you some starting points https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topics/research/future-worlds-2050-project

While you don't want to get into a tangle, you were asking for suggestions rather than fully-fledged ideas, I believe.

PS: A TIMELY UPDATE: @Rob93 @LEL

Every lawyer will require familiarity with crypto, says MR

New guidance published for lawyers advising on blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies.

Can't believe that I'm actually writing this but just been offered a training contract at Clifford Chance! Arghhh, freaking out!

Congratulations! Would you mind sharing when your AC was and when you heard back?

If you applied to W&C, how long did you wait to hear from them?

 

[CF12345]

Hello! Thanks. I emailed trainee recruitment asking for it - they don't send them automatically.

Did you email them after hearing back about your application outcome or do you think it is okay to email before? Thank you!
