Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abstruser" data-source="post: 13334" data-attributes="member: 260">I would say confidence made the biggest difference between both cycles. I was invited to two interviews in my first cycle, and three in my second - both at MC and SC firms. I was successful in 0/2 of the first cycle, and 3/3 in the second. In the first cycle, I was very nervous in interview - even if I had a correct answer I would come off as unsure and generally uncomfortable. Going into the second cycle, even if I had no idea what the 'correct' answer was in an interview, I was much less apologetic and nervous and demonstrated a lot more willingness to work towards a solution even if I didn't know it offhand.I also focused a lot more on my commercial awareness in the second cycle, which I think contributed to overall confidence. It also really helped me write better answers for my application questions, as I wasn't just researching a single news story for a single application question - I could situate my chosen news story within broader commercial trends which just lent a little bit more commercial nuance to my answers. Also, in one of my partner interviews I was asked to make three commercial predictions for the year 2018, which I would have been totally floored by in my first cycle - thankfully I had been reading the news regularly, so I could answer intelligently!</blockquote>
