    Hey - I'm not sure if there can be any advice or tips for this but I've realised I kinda struggle with meeting the word count on applications.

    When answering a 'why this firm' question, is it better to state the name of a different firm or just say 'open day'. So 'I attended X's Open day in which …' or 'During an open day I …' I hope that makes some sense😂

    Hey, I'm obviously not Andrei, so don't have to listen to me whatsoever! But I think I saw a similar question on the forum, and the answer was that it is highly encouraged to not use the same exact answer. Open days are way less competitive than VS, so what may have worked then may not work...

    Just done the DLA Watson Glaser and I'm probably no going to pass onto the next stage, got opportunity for development in two areas. But to bring some hope, I don't think it was a very difficult test, I just needed to practice more, so if you've really been practicing it should be fine!

    For the DLA application, since the word limit is quite low, did anyone use 1 example only or always 2 examples/reasons? Thank you!
