    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hey @Jessica Booker ! I received an oral offer for a TC beginning March 2024 last week but I want to see if I can move my start date up a bit earlier. I haven't received any written confirmation or documents to sign yet but I know grad rec is still busy considering TC applicants. Is it too...

    If we're doing a written exercise where we need to recommend one of three possible courses of action for a business, should I spend most of my comparing and contrasting the three in or focus more on using SWOT on the single course of action I think best?

    Commercial Case Study Assumptions

    Your research links are super informative, thank you so much! Didn't even consider competition concerns between a PE firm's different portfolio companies.

    This is such a good idea! I'll add post-closing adjustments as a potential legal solution. If there's a potential for a significant delay between the signing and closing of a deal (for example if regulatory approval for the deal is needed), then post-closing adjustments may be a good solution...

    Commercial Case Study Assumptions

    If the client in an M&A transaction case study is an investment / PE firm, can we assume that there won't be any competition concerns, and that the method of acquisition is a share purchase? Competition concerns and asset purchases seem to me like they'd be only relevant to trade buyers. Would...

    Hi @Jessica Booker. A&O's application question asks for candidates to 'describe the key learnings/skills you've gained through work experience, positions of responsibility, personal experience or extracurricular activities' in 250 words. I'm thinking of outlining three skills. Would it be...

    Hi @Jessica Booker, Is it normal to send LinkedIn invites to interviewers post-AC and is there any merit to reading into whether they've accepted your invite or not?

    PFO from Burges Salmon...but I didn't apply or submit an application in the first place?! I guess they felt like I needed reminding of the fact I suck 😂

    They didn't specify when or how they'd be in touch. I had my AC last Friday, so it's only been a couple working days. One future trainee I spoke to said they had waited around a week and a half to hear back, so it would probably be wise to just sit tight, I guess?

    Hi @Jessica Booker! When following up on the outcome of an AC at a US firm, is it more appropriate to email or call grad rec? Or should I just be patient and wait for them to get in touch?

    Hi @Jessica Booker, I was wondering if it was okay to repeat content in your application form during video interviews more or less word for word?

    @Jessica Booker Forgot 'and' in a sentence: Interpreted different levels of client knowledge adjusted my communication style accordingly. Would calling graduate recruitment to explain the second application not be advisable?
