    Can anyone give me a few tips on how they would approach dealing with a difficult work colleague? I've been extremely fortunate only to work with lovely people (at least so far) and am interested to know what others would do.

    They told me we'd hear back by the end of the month "hopefully". I'm still waiting on Macs and Travers.

    I'm still waiting on Travers but when I spoke to recruitment at a virtual law fair recently, they are still considering people, so who knows on that one. Macs is inviting people to virtual ACs and making offers already. No offer for me after mine though, sadly.

    I was wondering if people think the approach to "Why do you want to be a lawyer?" and "Why do you think you'll be a good lawyer?" should be different?
    I am currently trying to answer the first but I'm not sure if I should be spending more time saying why I want a career in law (e.g. variety, fast-paced) or more on selling myself (e.g. I can utilise my problem-solving...)
    Thanks for any opinion!

    First one is about your motivations, second is about your strengths/skill set. These don’t necessarily have to align although there might be cross over.
