    @Jessica Booker hi Jessica I had a quick q about an upcoming interview

    so it’s an hour long interview and initially it wasn’t specified what type of interview it would be and when I reached out to grac red to ask they said it would be a competency based interview, would you still suggest i prep for commercial awareness or motivational based qs because the interviews on short notice and I don’t have a lot of time

    any advice would be incredible thank you!

    @Jessica Booker I am currently applying for direct Tcs, but have an upcoming Vac Scheme this summer. Is it bad if I put in the work experience section that I received an offer for a vac scheme at another firm in my Tc applications?
    I would reference you have upcoming schemes somewhere in your application unless the firms are incredibly different to one another (eg niche family law firm vs big US firm that is PE/M&A focused).

    Competencies can include motivational and commercial awareness questions, so I would prepare for those too if you can.
