TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

Not open for further replies.
Does anyone have advice on trick, ethical “PM in a driverless car” type questions. I understand you can’t prep for them but any guidance on how to go about them will be super helpful?
I personally do not know what you are referring to, I am assuming ''the difficult questions you cannot prepare for'' and I would just choose an answer that best suit the situation and makes sense for obtaining the best result in the situation.
 
Hi @Jessica Booker, I have a virtual AC next week for a direct TC at Irwin Mitchell - do you have any hints or tips on how to best prepare for it, I’ve never been to an AC before.

It involves a group exercise, strengths-based interview and written exercise.
He @LB24,

Congratulations on getting the assessment centre in the first place!

I shared some tips which might be helpful to you in this post: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-167210

Good luck!

Sorry I phrased that weird, I am not quite too sure what I am talking about either!
I am referring to curveball questions like "how many credit cards are there in the UK", "should the PM travel in a driverless car" etc.
