Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I give you credit for that. The most awkward answer I gave was at Fleishman Hillard in Y2. They asked me how did you end up being the first in a specific competition? I answered, "because I don't lose". Fast forward 2 days and you know the outcome :rolleyes: I'm still waiting for their email to...- Frank

Resources other than FT/TCLA?
On my side, I recommend listening to podcasts. There’s a lot of resources you can listen to of course, but I suggest listening to the Sound of Economics from Bruegel. They have 30-45 minute podcasts that discuss events from a macroeconomic perspective. It’s basically macroeconomics for dummies...- Frank

Dominika, right now it's incredibly difficult to get a job. Don't despair about that. Focus on the essential first, which is to make yourself more employable. When it comes to coronavirus, I genuinely agree with you. The way I approach the situation is to accept it and move forward. The more I...- Frank

Haha, well the part 2 of the second point kinda applies before/after the TC offer when you're in serious need of a job! But I strongly disagree with their first point because being a paralegal or whatever would make things run faster when you get into the office as a trainee since you know how...- Frank

a. Yes, why not - useful for you because you finish tasks earlier; I know firms that even though their deadline is in late summer, they're still reviewing apps despite that they 'don't recruit on a rolling basis'. b. Why do you think that's a problem? Is the UK the best place for VS in the...- Frank

by thinking what your greatest achievement is and what it denotes? These are all personal examples, eg if you went to a bad public school put skyrocketed yourself in top 1% at uni, to me it means resilience and ambition. It’s not rocket science, gl. Ps: it doesn’t have to be from academia only...- Frank

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
I agree and this is why people mess up these questions: they overthink their answers to impress or to avoid looking stupid, but by default the questions are set to make you feel uncomfortable and see how you react under pressure. Just be relaxed and see the trees behind the fence, no one expects...- Frank

I personally don’t see an issue with this. It’s a fine line between being overly pushy, pushy, and normal. I personally started the convo on LinkedIn and after asked if it’s better to have a word over a phone call. But Jess is also right, so it’s a matter of preference- Frank

Fun story. I've seen for the first time the term "PFO" on this forum, I didn't know what the jargon stands for. I called a few firms to ask for a status update, and wanted to say the following: "given that I haven't heard anything since X month, should I assume it is a PFO"? Thank God I haven't...- Frank
