Hello hello! Make sure you're confident in your why the firm, commercial answer and some standard STAR competencies but aside from that, a lot of the day you can't really prepare for as it's based on a given/fictional situation. Judge the information in front of you, stick to your guns and be...- cmaj

I used a blurred background for everything, including in the working world with client meetings! I think it's more professional than a non-blurred background as it's not as personal and is less distracting. Plus it makes you look like you're in a real life portrait headshot hehe- cmaj

Definitely! I heard a lot of firms discuss it last year. Make sure you know enough about it to talk about it though and that you do have a genuine interest. I always find it easiest to talk about an area I have a real genuine interest in because I can bring in multiple different news stories and...- cmaj

Thank god!!!! Thank you for addressing it Jessica. I think I speak for everyone when I say that the forum is so lucky to have you and the rest of the team in matters like this... it isn't really how any Saturday night should be spent! I just feel awfully sorry for the individual involved. I hope...- cmaj

It could be, but it seems suspiciously targeted to me. There is the exact same post on TSR (https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?p=93526256&highlight=dla piper) under an account made today. Why would you make a new thread with a headline pointing to something that the GR team...- cmaj

Just to remind you, I believe DLA specifically told us to keep these materials confidential. They said do not share them, use them in the exercise only and delete them straight after the event. I'd be really careful about not just sharing them but also posting this on a public forum under your...- cmaj

It’s expensive and time consuming to hire vac scheme students. If the end goal is to recruit high quality trainees, the firm’s have a thorough and rigorous enough recruitment process to do so already. I will just say as well, more applications does not always correlate to more high quality...- cmaj

He then said in the booth that a large proportion of their TCs go to internal staff members... if you’re passionate about their areas of specialism though, none of that matters as you will get through if you try hard enough :) A good event overall!!!! On a separate note, I am BUZZING for all...- cmaj

:( :( this is so lovely thank you for the advice!!!!! This is exactly it, but I work all day and I'm not in control of how busy that is... plus I have to save my annual leave for if I'm successful in the AC so I can't just take the time off! It's a vicious cycle!!! You're totally right with the...- cmaj

This is really sweet thank you so much ❤️ Maybe see you there?! LOL. Thank you SO MUCH. I was really worrying about this as I use Zoom/Teams every day and I'm so familiar with them. Plus, I have no idea how the camera works on TopScore, e.g. I always set a blurred background on Teams/Zoom...- cmaj

Hi all, starting to feel very nervous about my upcoming RPC AC. The platform they use is TopScore, which I've never used, and I have no idea what to expect on the day in terms of the actual tasks. I'm also not feeling very well at all this week (my brain has felt very foggy) so if anyone has any...- cmaj
