TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[lawapplicant]

BCLP apps open today. Hopefully they don't change the questions half way through the application being open again!

I managed to fit in two points in the 250 word question. Firstly/Secondly starters.
I've seen various successful approaches to this that focused more on your achievements. I tried to keep it fairly equal though.
I kept the first question broken up like:
a)

300 words
b)

Note this is obviously commercial lawyer
250

c)

250

Then I linked the points so it flowed much easier.

Brill - you are a VC application angel!

Do HSF send their test out to everyone and do they do this before the deadline?

No, they tell you if you pass/fail the test before reviewing your application. But they send the test out immediately once you submit the application.

I hate candid

If it helps, most recruiters hate most applicant tracking systems. The systems most of the firms use are just as painful for recruiters as they are candidates!

Hi @Jessica Booker,

I know that you have a full-time job besides helping and supporting us, but are you going to have your "office hours" again?

CV mail cause you can skip to the questions without filling out all the other details first.

Say what you want about Candid, the split for automatic Year1/2/3 on the Undergraduate section is really helpful

 

[webberwerter]

Regardless of whether you prefer candid or cvmail, we can all agree that A&O's system is absolute garbage.
