TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[TCLA Community Assistant]

Should I put my work experience as a volunteer advisor at an advice bureau under the heading of relevant work experience or volunteering on my CV?

I generally advise removing "Relevant" from any heading in a CV - everything in your CV is relevant, so you don't have to designate experiences as such!

But it can be under work experience or volunteering - it is completely up to you as it is a bit of a grey area and really depends on how you have personally decided to structure your CV.

Yes, I have.

Then I would contact the firm, explain you have been advised that no one will be able to provide a reference until the end of January due to absence and that you are attaching a formal academic transcript in the hope that would be sufficient until an academic reference can be provided.

You may also want to ask your institution to provide the reference to you directly at the same time it is requested by the firm so that you can hold this and forward it to other firms as an interim measure in the future too.

Thank you Jessica, should email them or call on Monday? I call them this morning but nobody is in the office.

You'll need to attach/send the transcript anyway, so an email would be sufficient.

Who else got a holding email from Cleary?

I did. It says they have filled the ac places for WVS but would like to consider my application for spring/summer vac schemes.

 

[NMA]

To anyone who did A&O interviews this week, did any of your interviewers say when we should expect to hear back?

 

[User1726]

anyone have any tips on travers interview for WVS? applied on 6/10, got a call today!

Yep - seems like we won't be get a place for those either, unlikely that the quality would drop for those cycles

Does anyone know if you did not get a response from White & Case for WVS now, but have put down other intakes as the second choice, is there a chance that they will still contact you for progression for the latter cohorts?

I'm in exactly the same position and was wondering this too?

In the same position. Waiting for a response for my VI but not sure if they will fill up spaces before I hear back and want to know I at least have a shot at the SVS intake

Congratulations! Have you been invited to interview?

Hi! Has anyone heard back from Ashurst AC?

 

[starman]

Safe to assume they'll be emailing Acceptance & PFOs at 5pm.

How come? Also, isn’t acceptance communicated via phone?

 

[jnvkkbkjbkZXBJZX]

Hi! Has anyone heard back from Ashurst AC?

Not me!

 

[lik0401]

Congratulations to everyone that has heard back re Slaughters Winter Workshop!! - is anyone else still waiting (like me)?

I just got an invite a few mins ago so they're still sending them out - good luck!

 

[starman]

because I doubt they'll be able to call 25 people in under an hour and 30 minutes. Don't think a single person has received an acceptance.

Sounds logical to me. Unless one of these options is true:
-> they have a backlog;
-> they have already called people but none of them are present on the forum.

Good luck everyone!

I agree! Someone got an AC offer on Monday that I saw, they also probably wont get back to anybody strictly by the deadline, firms are notoriously slow
