I’d just say make sure you have examples of competencies! Hard to say more without saying the actual questions. Also the usual pointers - have a plain background, dress smartly like an in person interview, and look at the camera rather than the screen.- rose63

In an 'explain a time where you've been resilient' (as such) question I wrote about my experiences with mental health and how it impacted my studies etc. I've done this for another firm and was invited for VI, but now I'm worried that writing about it in my most recent app was too personal.

I'd like to do some last minute apps (following Jaysen's post here) but realistically how likely is it to be successful? Some of the firms I'd do a last min app to I don't have much research about etc. so I'm not sure if there's much point trying? (Without sounding like negative Nancy)- rose63

Had a rejection from Burges Salmon for their summer VS, but the email said to apply for their TC. I’m not sure how I could make my application better to apply again - how can I know where I’ve gone wrong?- rose63
