[QUOTE="laby201, post: 149356, member: 10161"] Hi all! As a background, I'm about to begin my third cycle to try and secure a VS. I generally do fine in the written application stages but fall short after that, which I think is predominately down to my commercial awareness. I've started to read the news frequently, am trying to wrap my head around topics like inflation and have done Bright Network's Commercial Awareness Course to understand the facets of an M&A deal. It's just dawning on me that if I were asked anything in an interview or given a case study, I would really struggle. It takes me a while to fully understand the concepts and even the basics confuse me and if I was asked to do it on the spot, while having to think of what clients and firms would want identified, I would not do well. If there was anyone in a similar position, is there anything you did to really feel confident about discussing commercial awareness? I'm listening to podcasts and reading the BBC Business section daily, but would anyone suggest anything in particular or just how to feel more confident? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
