[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 236617, member: 30779"] Me too! They are just such a model of good practice and I love their graduate recruitment so much. Clear advice and precise deadline (no "seven days from the second you receive this email" nonsense): [B]The deadline for completion will be 11.59pm on Thursday 22nd January (Thursday evening). Please be advised that we will be better placed to support with any technical issues sooner rather than later. Therefore, you may not want to leave this until the last minute! [/B] Clear instructions with everything broken down: [B]The interview begins with a welcome video, recorded by our Managing Partner Emily Exton, followed by instructions and tips from myself. I would advise you to watch all videos in full and avoid skipping any. There will then be a practice question which is not seen or assessed by anyone at the firm.
