    They offered a choice between two days, a monday or Tuesday. Not sure about the remote aspect, could well depend on the office and their availability. I applied for Chelmsford, a smaller office, so it could vary! As they call you rather than email you would be able to explain your situation and...

    I would say to practice answering 2-part questions in one minute as it goes quick. Research CMS and why it’s a future facing firm. There is a mix of questions so also practice motivational questions. There will also be a scenario question. Hope this helps.

    Sorry if this has been asked before but are there any resources regarding negotiation exercises at AC? I’m trying to prepare for Eversheds’ internal meeting simulation and by the sounds of it, it’s most similar to a negotiation although I don’t know what to expect. I am rubbish at negotiating...

    Also did Kennedys VI this morning, it’s so interesting how I can have no nerves before a VI and know what i plan to say inside out and even so, as soon as i hit that record button, my brain goes out the window!! Kind of bombed the first question but i hope the recruiter sees through my nerves as...

    I would say not to worry. You may not be happy with it but graduate recruitment may see positives where you see negatives

    I applied on the 8th of Jan. I did apply for a smaller office though (Chelmsford) so it may take longer for others?
