Sainsbury's and Asda merger - Interview topic
I think it's quite likely this topic will come up in some interviews this year. In addition to M&A and finance scenarios, competition comes up a fair bit and this is a great case study for interviewers to use. You can use this thread to share any links or comments on the proposed merger...- Jaysen

In a cover letter, you want to give an overview of what makes you a good candidate for the firm, so you don't need to spend too much time detailing all the tasks you did.

Here’s what she said: ‘The phone interview is a bit of an odd one, because a number of the questions aren’t really what you can prepare for. I was asked things like how I’d express my opinion with confidence, and how I’d find the right balance between being confident and not being arrogant...- Jaysen
