Does anyone have any advice for Macfarlanes Stage 2 online test? I am terrible at video interviews but really want to pass!

 

[174Tess9y3]

Just got one now, does this mean they also check my application and approve of that alongside my first test and have passed me?

Yes

Hi everyone I wanted do have some advice on how to answer questions like 'describe a commercial news story that interests you. How could it impact our clients?'.

I am unsure whether I should talk about a general commercial trend and how it could affect the firm's clients, or if I can take a commercial news concerning a specific company and discuss how a similar situation of that of such company would affect the firm's clients and the ways the firm could help them in this regard.

Thanks for your help )

Not the OP but I did the test on Tuesday night and got the invite just now, but tbf that was the 7th day after it was sent so it may be based on that
