[QUOTE="Nicole, post: 1468, member: 16"] I know you've had plenty of advice by now, but here's some more from a future trainee! "My top tips would be to know the firm well (products/services they offer and how this sets them apart from their competitors), think about their international expansion (in my interview I was asked a lot of questions about this), in the interview (which was a member of grad recruitment and 2 partners) just be genuine and show them why you will fit the firm. The questions were scenario based and competency based mainly so it is key to find a way to incorporate knowledge of the firm into the answers. From what I have heard they have changed the AC since I did mine but in the group activity I had I would say the tips would be to show leadership skills when needed, communicate well with the others, make only valid points (do not just say things because you think you need to speak as much as you can!).
