Hello Amma,

I hope you are well.

Do you have any tips/advice for preparing for Vacation Schemes, in terms of performance, tasks and general advice? Are there any published articles on TCLA about this?

Thank you very much for your help! :)
Hi Phoebe,

I hope you don’t mind me messaging you but I have a vac scheme coming up for Linklaters in summer. I saw that you were successful in converting and just had a question about whether you know if for the conversion course you need to do it in London or if it’s possible to do it in any BPP law school across the country? Thanks so much
Hello Jessica, I hope you are doing well. Had a question with respect to certain past work experiences and its relevance to recruiters here in the UK. Was hoping to send a message as that would be incredibly helpful.
Hi Jessica, I had a specific question about a situational interview I sat a few days ago. I don't want to disclose the info publicly, but it's been troubling me a lot. Can I DM you?
Heya I saw you react to my comment - if you don't mind me asking, which Mills person emailed were you successful ? :)
Finished just now. Questions were okay but I’m just rubbish at video interviews 🤣

🤣🤣 feeling is universal! Can only wait now. Did you choose Spring VS or Summer VS as your first choice?
