[QUOTE="j.s.cox, post: 122970, member: 20454"] [B][U]Update:[/U][/B] [U][I]Commercial Awareness Article[/I][/U] I read a piece on LinkedIn about how Bitcoin has stabilised and wrote an article on it. I tried to really think about the different parts of a law firm it could affect. I've attached it here and would welcome any comments! [U][I]Linklaters[/I][/U] I also attended the Linklaters Q&A today. It started off pretty badly because my name was badly mispronounced (to the point I didn't realise they were talking to me) and there was no apology or attempt to say it correctly which made me feel very unimportant. Regardless, I found out how they assess applications: [LIST] [*]They take grades, the Capp assessment and the Watson Glaser into equal consideration. [*]Grades need to be consistent 2:1's [*]The Capp Assessment is judged with internal criteria based on the Agile Framework, but they will not tell anyone specifically how it is assessed. [*]The Watson Glaser is judged on a pass/fail basis, so it doesn't matter how highly you score. [*]You can only do the Capp and Watson Glaser once per academic year, so it is taken into consideration for any further applications you make in that year. [/LIST] From this information, I must have fallen down in the Capp Assessment. I'm glad I attended the Q&A because I feel like I probably dodged a bullet and I would not have been as happy there as I thought I would have been. It really upsets me when my name is treated like a problem. [U][I]Norton Rose Fulbright[/I][/U] Now my head is clear and ready to tackle the NRF assessment day! I have already started the TCLA case study course to help me with this, and it is proving to be very useful so far. Thanks for following my journey! [/QUOTE]
