[QUOTE="gricole, post: 13883, member: 236"] I reached the semifinals last year so I thought I'd share my bit of advice in terms of preparation: 1. Make sure you are well aware of the companies at FTSE 1000 - who are they, in what industries, what are their business models, any big moves? 2. Read the FT Opinion stuff if you have access to it. 3. Finimize is absolutely wonderful - I took notes of the key commercial events the week before my quarterfinals and used lots of examples in the interview. 4. Make sure you are familiar with basic commercial terms - derivatives, bonds, equity etc. 5. Read a bit on the role of business development in law firms to establish a sound two-dimensional understanding: 1. The business climate of the law firm's clients and 2. The way in which law firms attract clients in the first place and how they operate as businesses. 6. Listen to Wake-Up to money and follow up on things you find interesting there. Best of luck to you all! [/QUOTE]
