TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I much prefer it to the online tests as a filter, to be honest. The nice part is it's two-way and based on an actual conversation with you (even if it's an unusual set-up).

But yes that's pretty normal. It'll feel weird because you have little sense of how they are reacting to what you are saying. I'm sure you did great!

Thank you! Yeah I hate the tests!!

did a TI the other day and lowkey tweaking it feels kinda personal to get cut for a phone call that lasted 15 minutes haha. it was so odd compared to an interview, i basically felt like i was monologuing answers and then we'd move on.. is this normal?

browne jacobson?

An actual phone call? Not Teams!?

Has anyone heard from Lee Bolton Monier-Williams? The website says their Vacation Scheme is running from 14th - 16th April so guessing it will be a PFO at this point.

I am really excited to say that I have gotten a TC with Links!

Amazing news, huge congratulations!! I hope you celebrate well
