Hey everyone, so I got invited to complete a Stephenson Harwood video interview, among some other tests, but the interview is what I'm really preparing hard for. Does anyone who's done this know how best to approach this? Kinda my last chance to get a TC in what has been a terrible cycle quite frankly so would appreciate the help
Just saw this. How did you do?
