TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

hey - wondering if anyone knows why Clifford chance has sent a wg invite even though I passed last year ? Does this mean they no longer take your old score OR are they allowing you the choice of a redo ?

Any info/clarification is appreciated.

I passed the WG last year and haven’t received another WG.

If you passed last year, you should get the following email:

“I am pleased to confirm that as you previously completed and passed the test within the last two recruitment cycles with us, you do not need to do the test again this year.

Your application will now be progressed to the next stage of our process: application review. We do not recruit on a rolling basis and therefore all applications will be reviewed once the deadline has closed. Please expect to hear whether we would like to progress your application further, after this date.

You will be informed whether you are invited to the video interview stage week commencing 2nd December.”

Hi - How to go about answering this question in 200 words. Describe your proudest achievement and what challenges you have had to overcome. Like what should be the split between the two questions, should challenges and how it was overcome be more? How many days does CMS provide for doing the Watson Glaser?

I interviewed with a firm for a WVS two weeks ago tomorrow and still haven't heard back. I followed up politely with grad recruitment yesterday, but to no avail. Anyone else in this boat / has any firm ever taken this long to get back to someone or can I consider it a ghost?

Heya I wouldn’t take it as a rejection, they may have been interviewing people in batches. I know for some firms they are doing interviews across like a four week period! Stay strong!!!
