    Commercial Awareness Discussion Thread

    Hi all! I just wanted to check if I understood something correctly With SPACs, what is the reason why firms are going to the US stock markets for these? Is it because of the current UK regulations that mean when the SPAC has identified a target, they can no longer trade? If so, how is it known...

    Thanks, Jessica! I already read the TCLA newsletter (it’s absolutely fabulous) and I also read Watson’s Daily. These are the main sources of my trends above, but I just didn’t want to miss anything 😅

    This might not be the best place to post this, but it’s the most popular thread! I was wondering if anyone could just mention some major commercial trends right now? I know that’s a big ask, but I’m trying to consolidate my general commercial awareness and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Ah ok, thanks, Jessica! Would this basically mean that I have to write (for example) "Whilst working at Waitrose, I developed invaluable customer service skills, which would help me during my vacation scheme at WBD, as I would be able to successfully interact with clients"?

    I didn't even know that I could after being rejected from the VS! I think I'll think about it, but tbh I don't have much to add since I sent in the app less than a month ago and I haven't really done much since then or changed much so if they didn't like me/my app then, why would they like it now?

    Thank you for this! I think the thing that's makes me most nervous is that I can only prepare a certain amount because most of it is dependant on what happens on the day and I hate that 😭 I think it's a spontaneous one as I have not been given any info about what to present. It's for BCLP so...
