TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

im sure this is a common complaint but i seriously wish firms could give us feedback even if its one line :/ I’d rather hear that I need more legal experience or need to improve my answer structure, commercial awareness idkk anything over an automated rejection

has anyone heard anything from fieldfisher post test?

Took my test mid December. I heard back about 3 days after my test in December with invite to phone interview. Booked late Jan and received AC invite the day after the phone interview. A classmate of mine took her test in January and hasn't heard anything from them, I think it's to do with how they recruit on a rolling basis.

Prepare for the question:

"How would your friends describe you"

You have unlimited time to prepare so it's a fairly stress free VI (as far as any VIs can be stress free)

Do you happen to know if they’ll fill all AC slots before managing to progress everyone through the earlier stages of the process? I’m worried that I applied too late!

I have no special knowledge but given the discussion in the Fieldfisher 2022 TC thread it seems that many people who applied later in the process weren't progressed before all the vacancies were filled.

Just got my rejection from Freshfields, so make that two vac scheme rejections after assessment centres(rejected from Hogans too).

Feeling pretty devastated can't lie and not sure how to take any of this positively. They said they'd offer a feedback call in late March which feels like ages from now.

Thanks for the info! I completed my test mid-jan so not expecting to be successful then.
