TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[MrHubertLouis]

I'm really proud of you - it has been such a pleasure seeing you in the live classes and mock interviews, and I can see how much hard work you put into this.

It's only a shame that we'll miss your presence in the sessions!

Thank you so much Jaysen!!! I’m going to miss TCLA too 🤍

 

[MrHubertLouis]

Amazing news - Congratulations!

Thank you so much Jessica! 🤍

Do written exercises require intros?

For example, if I was asked to give advice to a client, would you start with niceties? Or go straight into an executive summary? Does an executive summary require a heading?

Sorry, I’m so unfamiliar will all this!

Just go straight into the advice. The niceties would be in the email correspondence sending the summary/research note, rather than in the research note itself.

How much do vac scheme applications differ from TC applications other than the process of course, do I need to write my cover letters and application answers any differently?

Has anyone who did the earlier ACs heard back from Ropes????

 

[Farhan65756]

Anyone heard from RWK Goodman for the summer vacation scheme?

Womble Bond Dickinson said they would get back to people on the week commencing 25th March, and I just wanted to ask if there is even a chance for me to progress to the virtual AC based on my Amberjack Assessment feedback report? I got top band for Verbal Intellect, middle band for Numerical Intellect. As for the 4 pillars I got:
Grit: 6; Applied Intellect: 4; Creative Force: 7; Digital Mindset: 9

I think these are pretty good numbers but no one knows what WBDs checkboxes are - your video interview will also play a big part I assume

[TCchaser24]

anyone heard from dwf?

We won't hear back till they're all done (I asked GR because I had a conflicting scheme)

"we should have the results available to us by the end of week commencing 11th March"

Doesn't mean that it will be today.

@Jessica Booker If I'm supposed to send in my CV to the Training Principal for an application to an Open Day, should I be adding my Resume AND a cover letter?
