TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Miss Chocolate]

I would email to confirm this because offering to provide accommodation does not mean being able to sponsor visas. For instance, I have done a vacation scheme last year and the firm was providing accommodation for the people outside of London but did not sponsor visas (and I was an international student so I did ask this beforehand). I would email and get confirmation from them.

Can I ask what you did about the visa situation? Thank you, Axel!

Does anyone have any tips on the Stephenson Harwood application question that asks for a summary of an article on the sustainability of yachting? Should it be broken down into different sections with bullet points or just in simple paragraphs?

I had an interview with TLT not too long ago and my interviewer said that when summarizing you need to look at who you client is, and act accordingly.

I.e. a senior director may not have time to hear a massive summary, so sum up the article in a sentence or two, then break down the key points, and then offer them to contact you for further queries. (That is just my opinion, could be the wrong approach).

It's quite annoying in that it doesn't specify who exactly the client is, I broke it down into mainly prose and then bullet points for stats.

Has anyone received the shoosmiths feedback report. What was everyone’s strength and weaknesses? I got open connector as my weakness and considering it’s one of their top values, not sure I’ll be getting the good news from them anytime soon

 

[johnnn821]

Guys has anyone heard back from Morgan Lewis?

Hi, do you know whether HL give a set amount of AC invites via their Lift Off programme?

Umm I know that everyone who does lift off automatically gets fast tracked to an AC and I think there are like 30/40 odd people on lift off maybe?

Has anyone already done the B&B AC? If yes, what was the interview like for you? Was it a case study or more of a classic interview? (it’s not clear in the GR email😅)

Yes, got an offer on Feb 1st. I think the deadline for getting back to them on the offer was 12th, so maybe potentially more offers going out
