    Prepare for the question:

    "How would your friends describe you"

    You have unlimited time to prepare so it's a fairly stress free VI (as far as any VIs can be stress free)
    I’m not sure if it’s changed this year because I had a technical problem (haven’t actually done the VI yet) and the team in their reply said that we will have a few seconds to prepare before answering the question.

    I have a question about SJTs. Is it generally better to escalate or de-escalate a situation? And should I ask questions to the senior who gave me the work/colleagues if I’m unclear abt the work they give me or is it better to have a go at it myself without asking?

    Yes if its through the traditional route, but I'm surprised they wouldn't pick up on it? Did you apply for the SQE route? Because they do allow you to complete the SQE alongside your TC. So if you graduate next year July, you probably would be able to begin in 2024 - as they basically do the SQE alongside training
    No, it was for the direct training contract. Perhaps, I can choose to do the SQE instead of the LPC? Strange that they didn’t pick up on it!
