    Has anyone done the VE Partner Interview/AC and prepared a presentation? Do you send a PDF or the actual Powerpoint? Also, just wondering how they bring that into the interview? Do you flick through the slides yourself? Thanks!

    Is it ok to visibly have notes when you present during an AC? Obviously not to read them word for word, but to refer to?

    Yeah, I thought it was unusual! Its definitely to pitch a prospective client to the firm and explain why they would be a good target client. Really tough... Thank you so much, that is so helpful!!
