Assessment Centre Tips
Reading up on the commercial stories for me because I struggle with that the most. I also try to go through technical commercial stuff on investopedia although I can easily get quite lost in there.

Strange application questions...
I had this question at my Jones Day interview! I was quite flustered and came out with a terrible answer, so I've since prepared something better about personal development, helping others, reaching a goal etc.- jess889

Macfarlanes Vacation Scheme Application Form
That was helpful thank you! I was going to ask about the non academic interests but I see what you mean it's just another way of referring to extra curricular activities. That second part of question 3 I'm also unsure on so if anyone has any thoughts I'd be keen to hear that too!- jess889

Dress code
Agreed. On guys I think a shirt and trousers/chinos also technically counts as smart casual. You could probably past with it for these types of events, but it's not really ideal. Isn't there also such a thing as business casual?- jess889

Paralegal jobs - are they worth it?
Yep I think so too! I could concentrate on writing good applications and send many more off if I didn't have to do it after work or on weekends. One thing I'm worried about is being asked in an interview what I've been doing if I'm not workng. Do you have any idea of how you would phrase an answer?- jess889
