TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[TurnbullBR]

Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Akin VS post-test? Last I heard from them was a holding email from Amy McCarthy on 24 Jan saying they had an unprecedented high volume of applications

 

[attempting law]

anyone heard from Taylor Wessing yet post-AC? been almost three weeks for me now

 

[Seville123]

Have there been any AC invites for White & Case? Either for spring or for summer?

 

[Dwight]

Winston deadline is 29th feb (was extended) so will probably hear back after the deadline has passed

Do they recruit on a rolling basis? Do you know if it is still ok to apply?

 

[Sunshinepink]

How can I perhaps answer a question about why I want to pursue a career in Law in a specific region? @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker

Not sure about rolling basis but since they extended the deadline i wouldn't think it is rolling! I applied yesterday if it helps 😂 i'd say go for it!

How can I apply to Winston

Hi, no cover letter for Winstons. There are 3 application questions you need to upload on a Word doc and I think you need to upload a CV too.

Where is all this? Can't find the application?

How do I apply to Winston & Strawn for a VS?

How long does Jones Day typically take to respond after the video interview? For a decision on the AC?

They are relatively quick - some people have gotten invites on the same day or day after. However, I wouldn't be too worried if its been a bit longer as Ive heard of people having to wait 3-4 days as well

I did ask whether I could shift it to next week but she said best they could do is this friday so I obviously took that over tomorrow hahaha. Apparently its not a very technical interview so hopefully it works out
