TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[JasmineM9]

does the SJT include a VI as well? I can't seem to find it on their website and can't remember there being one from past years applications

The SJT contains a VI but it is only one question I think.

Just went through my A&O SJT feedback report and it feels like I need to improve on most of the key skills... yikes

Slaughters Winter Workshop offer!!!

Fieldfisher Diversity Access Scheme Test Invite!

Not sure whether to attack this straight away or wait a bit because we’ve got ten days to do it. It takes 5 mins but there’s no way to practice or anything so I’m a bit confused

In a cover letter, is it okay to mention your completion of another firm's Forage course as a means to emphaise 'why law' and attest to your interest in a certain area of law?

Yes - that is fine to reference the programme.

 

[Jessica Booker]

Writing to a firm to change the schedule from a winter wvs to spring or summer after accepting an offer with them feels so embarrassing...

Lots of people do it each year - the worst that will happen is the firm says no, and then you are in no different position than you are now.

Just do it, there really is no way to practice it as it's strengths based!

i got an email today saying my application and strength assessment score has been forwarded to early careers. (i took the test 5 days ago)
