TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Does anyone know if they record your audio (as well as video) when you are doing an assessment? I often talk to myself/read myself the question a few times and wondering whether I need to stop doing that 😂

I think they record it to make sure you arent cheating (if someone else comes in the room and starts helping you) but i doubt they sit there and watch you the entire time you prep your answer. I might be wrong but it just seems like a waste of time if they do that

Looks like an Addleshaw Goddard PFO (Post-test) for me then - London office :')

Honestly?! I believe it is same for me. This is truly upsetting as I did not expect to do a critical thinking test. My app was fantastic but I am not able to pass the critical thinking test.

That’s what annoys me about this the most.

I hope there’s more AC dates for AG London as there’s spring and summer

are Latham releasing PFOs in batches or will there be another release of ACs, - seems like there is still a lot of us waiting ?

Jones Day AC! the first question I asked to a trainee during my interview was "what seat are you in" lol i felt like the biggest idiot

 

[NMA]

Looks like there's been a change in this mid-week then; been anxious about hearing back all day - wish they had sent round an update or something

Was your AC on wednesday in the afternoon? Because mine was and they definitely said we'd hear back by phone or email today lol

Hey can I ask about your interview?

 

[sm99]

Has anyone heard back from squires?

 

[I’m_Batman]

Came to the disturbing realisation I prefer interviews with a strict time limit on VI preparation time.

I actually agree with you but I'm vengeance

How do you know it’s spring because in the application you don’t choose which scheme? Or did you get a choice when you received the invite?

Anyone heard back from Slaughter and May for Summer Work Experience Scheme (vac scheme) post-interview? Is it a myth that the earlier you hear is usually successful, and that if they call you it’s an offer and they email you if it’s a rejection? Haha

It stated in the email that you should expect to hear back by early March!

Can't speak to the first question, but one of my friends did the SWE last cycle and he got his scheme offer through an email. He did his interview around mid-Feb and heard back in early March.
