TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Heartofglass]

In endlessly reviewing a firm's recruitment brochure to write apps, the trainees photographed start to seem like these unattainable, lofty figures -- celebrities almost. I feel weirdly starstruck when I then interact with them in person, like... My brain has got so used to seeing them as images? Does anyone else get that or is my brain rotting lol

Oh tell me about the starstruck. I had been following this lawfluencer on YouTube for quite a long time. And when I got a chance to meet him in my previous VS, I was so nervous to talk to him to the point he even told me you seem to be worrying a lot abt the scheme. The cherry on top was that when we were getting back to our office, I was so fumble that I got slammed by the elevator doors IN FRONT OF HIM 🤣🤣🤣

That's just me, starstruck by him and the elevator doors

Anyone heard back from CMS after WG?

 

[thenublawyer]

Anyone still not heard back from Latham? I didn’t get the holding email myself but I thought it said they would respond by the end of January?

It just came through when I put up the post so no lol. I have bought WG practice tests on Assessment Day but doesn’t sound like it’s WG. If you find out any more, please let me know

hate times written assessments - always feels like you're on a proper time crunch and just stress about the timing and can't focus on the content

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy to reply
Told myself you were the right vac scheme
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love, and it's an AC I still remember

Same here - didn’t get the holding email either. Starting to think our apps got lost 🥵

I share this sentiment. I had an AC today, let the time and my anxiety get the better of me and I think it went terribly. I had a great competency/motivational/situational interview though, let's just hope they see my potential😅

Wait, so the Shoosmiths deadline is the 4th of Feb, and not today? Or is it today?

 

[Mike Wazaoski]

Mischon video interview! woohoo (I hate video interviews)

 

[Pennine Valley]

If All hires says 4th it’s gotta be the 4th.
