    Application Q

    I always see a question on applications asking about my hobbies, interests, positions of responsibility, etc... and never know how to approach it properly.

    Questions to ask an associate

    I have a call arranged with an associate and was wondering what sort of questions I should ask them? I'm talking to them because they advise clients from the fashion sector (something I am very interested in) - they trained with the firm and have stayed post-qualification.
