    This sounds fine, I think they just want to find out what you genuinely find interesting. There's no wrong or right answer imo

    One of mine was a password-protected PDF. The password was given on the Zoom/Teams call and access was lost at the end of the task. For another, it was on a platform you could view it on, no copying and pasting was possible, access was lost after the task ended as well. I could take notes on...

    Hi! You can’t re-record. If you prepare general motivational and commercial questions, you'll be fine. It’s 2 questions and is probably the most straightforward VI I’ve done. Make sure to be detailed but concise, the 90 seconds for speaking go by quick.

    If it helps with your decision, my two ACs this week are with firms that were rolling and I applied on the deadline. You will never know unless you put in an application!

    Just received a rejection from a final round interview I did last week, way to knock my confidence the day before I have an AC :/

    Keep getting ACs but always feel like I fail them...

    Thank you so much for this, I deleted my message and put it in another forum because I thought this was the wrong one to post in 😅 I definitely agree with point 1 because I did a good amount of research before applying to those firms and the additional research I’ve done this weekend just makes...

    I've got two ACs next week and I am starting to get overwhelmed with information. I had an interview last week with a different firm where I was unable to answer a competency question and I didn't answer two commercial questions how I would have liked 🥲, and it's stressing me out that maybe I...

    Thank you so much for this! He's a partner in employment and I've just completed an employment law module at university so I wanted to ask something related to this. I was only going to briefly mention that I had done this module and ask at the end about a deal he's done in an aspect I found...

    I’m not sure how their recruitment is post-AC but I don’t have mine till Feb 3rd so maybe they’re waiting to review all candidates? I could be wrong though!

    This doesn’t actually apply in my scenario, I didn’t mention a practice area or deal, but I’ll have a look at any interesting deals or firm initiatives he’s worked on. Thank you!

    When you are given your interviewer's name, are there particular things you are expected to know/research about them?
