Im stumped on whether to relate the question 'Which business news story has interested you the most in the last 12 months and why?' back to the firm. Ive seen some examples that havent done this and I kind of like my answer as it is. What do you guys think?
No need to do this - as long as it has some connection to the firm (eg it could impact the firm or their clients) the answer will be fine without you having to link it to the firm.

If the firm wanted you to link it to the firm they would ask.

Anyone got any advice for explaining mistakes on your application form during interviews? I realised some dates are wrong on my CV - Any advice for navigating this would be massively appreciated

Is this AG? a trainee I spoke to recommended subtly referencing the firm so might do that!

Anyone got any advice for explaining mistakes on your application form during interviews? I realised some dates are wrong on my CV for a specific job / I also didn't add references but application still went through.... Surely mistakes like this are quite major and they might think you don't have good enough attention to detail to do the job? Any advice for navigating this would be massively appreciated
What is the discrepancy with the dates? Eg what were the dates you put in versus what you actually did.
