Hey all, for VI - when responding to the question 'Why our firm?' I struggle to provide a thorough breakdown of 3 arguments (as I would do in a written response). I think all 3 which I want to mention are important, but I run out of time when trying to provide evidence of research/explanation. In a written response, it's easier to cut down the words/redact and make them fit within the word count.
What structure would you recommend for that question? Should we focus on a number of reasons (if so, are 2 sufficient?)?

They sent an email stating we will all hear back on the 16th Dec if we have moved forward to the written exercise. These will be taking place on the 19 and 20 Dec!!
Hi- I went to their London Insight Day and they confirmed they are non-rolling. So absolutely worth applying to them!
I’m going to write my app later in December.
Not applied to AG but the practice tests for TW are from Test Partnership.
Hi @Ram Sabaratnam @Andrei Radu @Jessica Booker !
I am currently answering a 'Which other firms are you applying to and why? (Max 200 words)' question, and I would appreciate your feedback on my approach. Thank you 😊
I plan to discuss how, as part of my application strategy, I first prioritised firms with strengths in my key areas of interest. I would list the three practice areas I am interested in and outline that each firm I applied to excelled in at least two of them.
I would then discuss how my additional criteria included the DEI initiatives and trainee cohort sizes (linking this to training quality).
Would this approach be ok?
Also, for commercial questions such as 'Discuss a commercial issue that has particularly interested you...', is it ok to discuss a macroeconomic topic such as inflation? Is it a bad idea to do this, or does it depend on how I cover the issue?
