Does anyone have any insights/advice on the Farrer & Co interviews? I can't find anything about what type of interview it is (i.e. competency, strength, or general). Or does anyone know of good resources to practice for interviews on a small budget? Any guidance would be super helpful!- saj2002

Hi, I haven't received any information other than it being a proofreading exercise that would take 25 minutes at most. The platform it is administered on is skillsarena, which I have researched and not found much on!- saj2002
