[QUOTE="sabma, post: 50915, member: 638"] Hello, I was on A&O First. In hindsight, if I was writing this q now I would: [LIST] [*]Find something of genuine interest that you can talk about with passion if you get an interview and you're asked about it. [*]Find something that's not too complex so that you can give basic low down of it and still have enough word count left to analyse. [*]Think about who A&O's clients are and how that story would affect them. [LIST] [*]will it present businesses with a problem that they would come to A&O to solve for them? i.e new regulations, tougher business conditions so more financings/restructurings... [*]will it present new opportunities for A&Os clients and how would they come to A&O to help them capitalise on this opportunity i.e new opportunities in emerging markets - how can A&O help there. make sure you're as specific as possible though if you do this. [/LIST] [*]Think about how it might affect A&O as a business? will it change the way they operate? change the advice they give? maybe it might make A&O consider opening an office in the relevant jurisdiction in the upcoming years. [/LIST] I think thats how I'd approach it systematically. When I wrote my answer, I already had an idea of what I wanted to speak about so I'd didn't approach it like this. But if I was starting from scratch, this would be my approach [/QUOTE]
