I personally wouldn't include module breakdowns for A-levels and GCSEs, mostly because I have no idea what they were or how to find them as I did them >10 years ago... But I also can't imagine why a firm would need to know these- kr253

It's useful interview experience no matter how badly it went! I used to find it so frustrating when people told me this but I have actually really seen an improvement in my interview performance the more practice I get at them!- kr253

Anyone video interviewed with Blake Morgan?
Hi @chillblue - congrats on being invited to interview! I had this VI last week - it was very informal, much more so than any other TC interviews I've ever had, so I'd say to feel free to relax and chat with the interviewer! And another tip is to be familiar with the ACTS framework 🙂 good luck!- kr253

Does anyone on here have any experience of a Paris Smith AC? I have mine next week and there's surprisingly little info available/provided 😑- kr253

Yes there was a Q&A session with the office head. The paired exercise was okay, we were given some information to read with a scenario and some context that was emailed to you just before the day started, then you had time to discuss in your pairs and then present to the assessors. Nothing too...- kr253

It was actually one of the more enjoyable ACs I've done. The only thing was how short all of the time slots were, it all felt a little rushed- kr253

No problem! Yes - both 🙂 One piece of (maybe quite obvious) advice is to keep an eye on the time - you essentially have around 4 minutes to answer the question so make sure you don't overrun too much. At least two of my assessors seemed to have follow up questions that they could ask if I...- kr253

Yes I had mine yesterday - the speed interviews weren't as bad as I feared actually. It is what it says on the tin really - 5 mins and 1 main question per assessor. Did you have any specific questions about them?- kr253

I'm in the same position this year so can't offer any advice but can sympathise! Vaguely amusing that the email said I may be invited at short notice when it's already only a week away - how much shorter can it get..!- kr253

Thank you, this is really helpful. One thing that I had already noted to mention wrt this was that every time I am honest with supervisors it is NEVER as big of a deal as I had built it up to in my mind, which means that every time it gets a bit easier and less scary!- kr253

I am doing some interview prep and would appreciate some thoughts on a possible answer to the "what's your biggest weakness" question... I have realised that sometimes when I make a mistake, my initial instinct is to try and pretend it never happened or to cover it up. (If it's relevant, I have...- kr253

Are they the sort of thing it's better to do on a phone rather than a laptop do you reckon? I know you can do them on either- kr253

Absolutely! I generally feel like you should include pretty much all experience in all applications as there are always transferrable skills, but this sounds particularly relevant to me!- kr253
