Usually it's by the end of Tuesday but to be safe I would definitely submit it latest early Tuesday.Got Clyde and Co’s VI invite on Thursday around 4pm - it says I have three working days to complete the interview, does that mean I have until Tuesday at 4pm?
1) There isn’t really a best structure - it’s really going to depend on the story and it’s connection to you. PESTLE isn’t necessary - I’d say most people go more with the narrative aspect.I'm struggling with how to approach the following question: Describe a current commercial issue that has interested you and explain why it interested you? (250 words)
- I am unsure what the best structure would be for this answer - either narrative or PESTLE?
- Would the best approach be to go for a broad topic or more sector/practice specific maybe?
- To what extent should I be linking this answer back to the law firm?
Thanks!!
This is an example of a structure you could use. All the best.I'm struggling with how to approach the following question: Describe a current commercial issue that has interested you and explain why it interested you? (250 words)

In my opinion, 'innovation' is doing something new or novel or different - for example putting a creative idea/concept into action or a way of doing something that makes an existing process more efficient. It can be something big or something small. So your idea of setting a society could fall under that depending on what it is but I think you would need to get across why it was different/creative/novel - probably a good one to use STAR with.Do you think I can use setting up a uni society and creating its resources, e.g. events, quizzes, etc., as an example of being innovative? Or is that not really an example of innovation?
That's really helpful, thank you!In my opinion, 'innovation' is doing something new or novel or different - for example putting a creative idea/concept into action or a way of doing something that makes an existing process more efficient.

They can be great examples for this. Focus on why what you did was different (and subsequently better) though.Do you think I can use setting up a uni society and creating its resources, e.g. events, quizzes, etc., as an example of being innovative? Or is that not really an example of innovation?
You’ve got some very helpful answers to this already but personally I always linked commercial answers back to the firm. In terms of how you’d link it back, think about the practice areas that would be involved in helping clients make use of the opportunity/impact from whatever you’re discussing.I'm struggling with how to approach the following question: Describe a current commercial issue that has interested you and explain why it interested you?

This is for any information that couldn’t be answered in other sections. For instance, clarification of grades, mitigating circumstances, gaps in your CV (eg when you weren’t working/studying), and questions that you feel they haven’t asked elsewhere that are important to you (eg if they haven’t asked a why commercial law question and your CV has little/no evidence of your pursuit of commercial law).Was wondering what sorts of things, if any, people decided to include for HL's optional question on their app "Please detail below any further information that you would like us to consider when reviewing your application." (Max 250 words)?
Thank you very much for answering my question Jessica!This is for any information that couldn’t be answered in other sections.

It shouldn’t be where you just go into more detail because you ran out of space describing other answers though.
"Please confirm whether you are still interested in applying"Oh my, that is a delay! What sort of response did you get after that length of time?!
Has anyone done the Ashurst Psychometric tests and if so, what are they like?
