    I’m sure they will as I think the TI invites were staggered. They have only given me next Thursday (!!!!) and haven’t mentioned any possibility of changing the date. I mean it’s not totally inconvenient as I’m actually on annual leave next week so don’t have to navigate getting time off work but...

I have always struggled with perfectionism and putting lots of pressure on myself, so it’s comforting to know that as you say in a pressured situation like a short interview, absolutely perfect answers are a rare occurrence. I think a self...

    @Jessica Booker @Jaysen @axelbeugre Hi guys, a handful of us on here, myself included, have been lucky enough to secure 15 minute telephone interviews with Browne Jacobson. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to maximise chances of moving forward in the process despite such a short...

    Hey, I think the TI is part of the shortlisting process given that the post-test email said the following: We consider the scores of your assessment alongside the content of your application. This is to ensure we get a rounded view of you as an individual. Should you be successful, the next...
