TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Hey all, new to this, but absolutely stressing out after an AC question I had today.

I was asked if I could invite someone famous to a dinner party, who would I choose to invite. I panicked as had no clue, so said Jurgen Klopp (the Liverpool manager). I backed it up by wanting to know how he's inspired huge comebacks/motivates players from setbacks/resilience and would want to know how he came to a difficult decision to walk away from something he loves. I tried to link this to a law firm and said you'd face setbacks as a trainee and hard choices.

The interviewer didn't really react much but worried it's an immature/unsophisticated answer. Feel I've blown it from what is effectively an arbitrary question.

I honestly think it is a very interesting answer and it gives a perspective of your interests too which never hurts! I am sure they will appreciate it a lot.

You need to remember that interviewers, most of the time, will not show you what they think so it is really difficult to infer something from how they look, so I would not worry about this.

Same! What is the usual wait time in people's experiences? I was told end of the month but I know they finish interviews end of the week

It depends on the firm, some firms will call you an hour/two hours later, others after three weeks. It really depends. I would just wait for their call/email which I am sure it will come very soon.

If you have not heard 2/3 weeks after the period they have indicated to you, then I would email for an update.

Has anyone heard back after the Pennington Manches Cooper assessment centre? Mine was on the 20th of Feb and wondering at what point a follow up would be good?

Applied 6 months ago - no news. Last time someone told me that 20 out of 25 places on the vac scheme were filled.

I applied in September and haven’t heard anything. When I emailed in January they said if you haven’t heard your application is still under consideration, but I’ve seen some offers on here and LinkedIn so I’m not hopeful
