TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Chloe Korn]

Has anyone that applied to Forsters done the test yet?
It seemed so odd that we werent informed about it on their website but it popped up in the AllHires application portal.

Im just wondering what sort of test it is...it says CRT which could mean 'critical thinking test' or 'cognitive reflection test'.

I just thought the same thing! Do you know which one it is?

Has anyone else just received their Browne Jacobson feedback

Just received the telephone interview invite.

Apparently it's just a Watson glazer if it's the same as the vacation scheme applications

Finally a SH pfo after test and interview in November. Can now make plans for my summer!

 

[Marissa]

SH pfo. I honestly don’t think the firm reads all apps.

 

[legal1803]

No SH pfo for me yet… is there hope or are they just sending it in batches

Did you do the test and interview?

has anyone heard from the Government Legal Profession today? They said we would hear back about the next round on 27-28 May.

I feel like the PFO's might be for people who elected for June but not July and we still have a shot for July. At least I hope so

Nope. How do you know when they would give us an update? I haven't received any emails from them. I applied on the 3rd of March. The wait has been draining. This is for the week long internship set up through Aspiring Solicitors right? And not the GLP trainee scheme.

Sorry I was talking about the trainee scheme. The GLP posted the recruitment timeline on their webpage (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/government-legal-service-gls-legal-trainee-scheme-how-to-apply--2#apply). The applications only opened 24 April and the Situational Judgement Test had to be completed by 15 May, the turnaround time for each element of the application seems to be a bit quicker that the internship.

Just got an email from SH inviting me to the online assessment and VI and to complete it by 27th May (2 days ago!). I applied for both June and July intake and already did the assessment and interview last month so a bit confused…

Hi nyanchan22 I also got the same. i was planning to write them an email before I saw this. Should I proceed under the assumption that they are trying to do a second round weeding out

I’m also planning to email - not sure if they’re intending to weed out as the deadline was 2 days ago and I just received the message now… assuming it’s a mistake from their side for now

I quickly wrote an email for this because I have some heavy commuting to do that will keep me away from my laptop or indeed the internet tomorrow and the day after.

I sent them an email asking what the situation is! I applied for the Dubai Scheme back in December and only heard back now - its the first time I have heard back anything from them since my application.

I also called and they said wait to hear back from your email. I'll keep people posted what they say, but glad that it wasnt only me that got the email with wrong date!
