[QUOTE="B1806, post: 40003, member: 4406"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], thanks for taking the time to answer all of these questions! I have an assessment centre coming up with Freshfields on the 16th of November and I was just wondering what your general advice would be in terms of preparing for the interview (both the competency/motivation one and the analytical commercial one). Are the questions typically asked in these interviews always the same (i.e. the ones I can find on Glassdoor) or do they often come up with unique "gotcha" questions? Also, I got fast-tracked to the assessment through their spring scheme and they're asking for a "statement of update" which is formatted in a really similar way as the general cover letter/personal statement they ask for in a regular application. Should I work really hard on it (like I did for the original personal statement) or just focus on talking about everything I've done since I initially applied without going much deeper? I suppose what I'm really asking is whether the statement of update is treated the same as any other cover letter (i.e. they assess whether it's very well written and highlights my skills effectively) or whether it's just to let them know what I've been doing and they'll just sort of use it to ask me about my experiences at the interview. Thanks! :D [/QUOTE]
