TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[corplawperson23]

It doesn’t matter what level they are, just be selective with how many people you ask and focus with a very small number of people you really want to connect with for clear reasons.

Lots of people ask too many people and then end up spending too much time away from their desk where they then can’t say no to people they asked.

Thank you, and noted!

[lawbear123]

Mayer Brown PFO after all this time

Still haven’t replied to my email asking for feedback after my test score was close to perfect

Have people received second-stage invitations from Stephenson Harwood? Me and my friend emailed them asking if all second-stage invitations had been given out but we both did not receive a reply - kinda worrying because they've replied to every other of our emails sent to them but not about this.

Is it likely then that they have been and I should assume PFO?

If you are working at a company through and umbrella company who do you add as your employer in the work experience section?

You can reference where you are working, and just state in the description you are working through an umbrella company.

Thank you, working through an Umbrella company will not put me at a disadvantage right?

No - it’s very common.

No - it’s very common.

Thank you, as I have a paralegal offer at a tier one investment bank but they are going through the umbrella company process however, I also have a paralegal offer at lewis Silkin. I am unable to decide between them , I personally want to take the investment bank one but I was just unsure if working through an Umbrella Company might not hold the same weight.

It’s really not an issue working through an umbrella company - there is no difference from a future applications perspective.
