You are strikingly real, and strikingly real is you! (Don’t ask how I noticed that)

The RPC's Strikingly real question is the goofiest question I've encountered in the application cycle and I'm crying buckets after coming up with a half-baked answer for it because that's such a great firm by culture, my fav area of expertise and most importantly, truly diverse!

My favourite Open Day, and I've attended 12 this cycle, that says a lot 😭!

Funny enough their Hong Kong application is completely opposite.

6 questions, each deep ones, and 250 words...

And then there's the London one. Just one Goofy♠️ question for 300 words.

I mean, there should be a balance, fr. This can't be a thing.

Has anyone else experience this with the practice AmberJack sent alongside the test:

"Your webcam is already in use​

Something else is already using your webcam, please turn that off , see that the light goes off and then click here to try again."

Nothing else is using my camera, I've cleared cookies etc...
