TLT assessment centre- questions about presentation exercise
I'm excited to say that I received an interview offer with TLT! Part of the email which describes the structure of the AC says as follows: "You will complete a 15 minute presentation assessment on a topic that is of interest to you. This does not have to be a legal topic, however it must link...- njones95

☆☆☆ Kingsley Napley questions- any advice? ☆☆☆
Two have me a bit stumped: 1) "Tell us about a time you disclosed information that was private or confidential. How did you rectify the situation?" (200 words) This is by far the one I'm more confused by. I'm unsure what to answer for this. I currently work as a paralegal and obviously what...- njones95

"We considered your application to be particularly strong, and would encourage you to reapply next year".
A couple of my applications which have been rejected have received a variation on this response: "Please note, we considered your application to be particularly strong and would encourage you to reapply next year if you wish to do so."

The question, "can you give me an example of a situation where you overcame adversity"?

Instead, I panicked as...- njones95

Can anyone give me ideas on how to answer the question, "Please tell us about something which did not turn out as you expected"?
It feels like it should be an easy question to answer. However, most of my work experience has been in areas where certainly a lot of unexpected stuff happened on a daily basis, but I can't share any details about specific scenarios, because of client confidentiality. I'd rather just give this...- njones95

Struggling with this TC application question- any advice?
"Please tell us about an outstanding personal achievement which added value to either your academic or working environment." So, I think this could be answered in one of two ways: 1) I could discuss a "personal" i.e. extracurricular/non-academic/non-work achievement that added value to my...- njones95
