Hi @Jessica Booker i was wondering if I should mention starting up my own business in my CV work experience section but I’m worried it’s not relevant/ will make my CV 2 pages long in comparison to my other legal-focused work experience. I’d be grateful for any advice on this.
Hill Dickinson PFO finallyyy 🤩 Not even sad just v happy to have had a response after all this time
Getting really frustrated with HFW. I’ve emailed them to ask when they expect to inform people on progress but they haven’t replied. I applied in October. Does anyone know when we will hear back from them?

You should definitely include it.
CVs can be two pages long.
You can always put it into a serrated section so you have your legal work experience in one section and your other work experience in another.
Anyone who’s applying for Browne Jacobson via direct TC route heard from them after amberjack?
Would love to know but may as well just wait and see. They stated that they'll aim to get back to everyone by May 24th. Personally I think PFO is likely
I haven't, would be curious to know what they would say though! If you do choose to contact them, please let me know.
Bank of England’s website is really good if you know nothing about the economy etc. Financial Times is good for any updates and current trends
This is quite an open ended question as the economy is large and disparate.
I would second the FT, it will take a while to start following the major threads of discourse surrounding the economy (most relevant to you will probably be, inflation/interest rates, m&a activity and any competition issues)
If you want to genuinely understand the economy it's good to learn about how central banks work, shadowbanking and eurodollars.
One section of the FT I like is called FT Alphaville, which is very in depth but with a very laidback/humorous approach.
Bank of England website also good but good to get further background knowledge.
It's about the american central bank (the fed) but I'd really recommend The Fed Unbound, it's available as a free audiobook on spotify. A whole lot of what is spoken about is applicable to how the bank of england works/has worked.
Investopedia is also really good for definitions and terms, again more applicable to american but a lot of it means the same stuff.
FT podcasts also good: unhedged, behind the money
