TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

I just think of rejection as redirection and learn from that experience. It does pinch but then I think next time it might happen.

This is a healthy approach to take.

Anyone still waiting on Travers?

Not sure if a PFO is imminent as they have been interviewing for around 2 weeks now

 

[saj2002]

Has anyone completed BDB Pitmans' VI?

 

[Legalstalker]

Mishcon PFO post VI. A bit gutted! But that’s the end of my cycle. Best of luck everyone!

You had a successful cycle with 2 offer!!! well done

 

[futuretrainee2024]

@Legalstalker how long did you wait from Goodwin post-ac? I didn't apply but I remember you waited a while for yours and im overthinking bc a firm said they'd get back to me in a week and no news yetttt

 

[neonorange]

Every time I've sat down to record a VI this week I've looked at myself in the silly little camera app and just closed the interview because the burnout is so real. How many more times can I convince my laptop about my motivations for a career in the law pleeeease 😭

Unrelated: Orrick PFO

Anyone heard back from ML post Tele Interview?

 

[lookingforaTC]

anything from Russell Cooke?

 

[PlimptonWeld]

absolutely shafted this cycle - nothing...

 

[legally.brown]

I saw a travers summer offer on linkedin!
there goes my hope lol💀

 

[tanamontana]

Is it necessarily a bad thing to mention the same deal a firm worked on in a video interview as you did in the written application ? I'm not sure if they compare the VI to the written app or not

 

[Cawareness101]

if you haven’t heard back from Travers - is it a rejection?

 

[sibs23]

Guys anyone doing the Winston & Strawn app? While I have inserted my University education the system marks the section as "not completed" and does not let me submit. Does anyone who applied have any clue on how to surpass this or if there is something that I am missing?

Hi, I completed mine last night. I think the system is very Americanised and I accidentally selected "law school" or "JD" to enter my uni details as I did law as an undergrad. I don't think it matters too much because all my uni details, with my grade breakdown, are on my CV.

Yeah! Just figured it out. I had my university experience under "school" because when I selected law school it showed as J.D. Thank you!

What should you do if you’re a non-Law student and you’re trying to apply?

 

[ccfuturetraineesolicitor]

Any news from Goodwin today? Or can we assume they’re done giving out offers

 

[johnnn821]

What should you do if you’re a non-Law student and you’re trying to apply?

I would choose law school, insert your university and in the comment section add your degree name for clarity

It really unnerves me when people put the shaking hand reaction to this - are you saying assume a rejection or just empathising with their position? 😭😭
