Another question.

What is the best way to answer the following:

1) If you didn't know the answer to a client queston, how would you respond? and
2) Is there anything else you'd like to tell us?

Thanks in advance

 

[cooked2000]

How do you actually answer when is a time you failed ?

[amb303]

Sorry to ask again but still nothing from KN? Anyone? The wait is killing me

I have a Summer Vac Scheme at a US Law Firm. But I still wanna increase my chances of landing a TC this year so I am applying to DTCs.

Do you think I should mention my Upcoming VS in my applications or would that do more harm than good?
