TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[badmintonflyinginsect]

For Linklaters' Pathfinder programme for first years, there's a section for "professional qualifications" in the application form and I'm unsure whether this means I need to put in my educational qualifications like GSCEs etc? Because there's no space or section for educational qualifications otherwise. And if I move on from this section, I will not be able to return and edit it. Would love it if someone could provide insight into this x

I attended. What do you want to know?

I've sent you my notes

Could you send them across to me as well? Thank you!

anyone who has done the V&E VI please message me!! will be super grateful, and happy to share insights on other firms VIs.

Is it okay in a VI for a 'why this firm' question to mention only 2 points but detail them ? Considering that the response time would be 90 seconds

Yes - that would be fine. You can always do a quick concluding sentence like “I am also impressed by the firm’s X and X, but the two key reasons for my application are those I have mentioned”.

Anyone not heard anything at all from Baker McKenzie post-app or am I the only one in this boat?

anyone applied DLA Piper's insight programme haven't heard back?

Some of these law firm names really do tickle me. I was showing my partner the list of firms I've applied to and they asked "Do you really want to be a Wombler Bonder?" and it has set me off for the night 🫡

Reminds me of the Wombles of Wimbledon

I reckon the Wombles of Wimbledon are WBD Partners of the past...

Anyone who has done W&C VS, can you provide some insight into the assessment process whilst on the actual scheme? Also, any advice into the TC Interview would be great. Thanks!
