    Hi all, quick question - how long should the "Why x firm" be in an AC? (in terms of minutes for a 35 min competency interview)

    Also, would you discuss a case in that answer or not - I mentioned a case in my application - and the interviewer has my application with them, so they could ask me if they wanted ....but because I already mentioned it in the application and discussed why I am interested in it, I do not really want to repeat it again....

    Any advice would be very much appreciated

    1. when you applied
    2. when did they contact you for your TI
    3. how much did you have to prepare for your TI from the day they notified you to the day of your TI

    Anyone who applied to TLT, did you fill in your user 'profile'? It's not part of the actual application but has a space to put your work experience etc - not sure if we're expected to fill it out!
    I uploaded my CV too it as wasn't sure they where actually gonna consider my user profile so rather then waste time inputting all my work experience if they don't consider it as I thought if they want to look at it they can look at it on my CV.
