Any advice on how to improve commercial awareness in SJT?
Hey @AGRACHEL , SJTs will rarely focus on commercial awareness, but will try to test more of your competencies/how you react to different situations. That said, commercial awareness should still be a skill one constantly develops over a sustained period of time.

Hi @Tsitsipas10S , generally it depends on how many people are invited to the AC and how many spots there are on the vacation scheme. For example, if 50 people are invited to an AC for only 15 vacation scheme spots, then the conversation rate will be lower than 50%. However, these rates differ between firms so try to look less at the numbers.
That's great - thank you! How do I work out how many people have been invited to AC?

    i applied for the hogan lovells life off on the 4th and haven’t received anything after, should i email or wait a bit?
    I applied on 27/09 and still haven't heard anything. Last year I had an assessment centre with them for the vac scheme, and I remember receiving the Watson Glaser more than a month after I had submitted my application. For now, I'm just waiting...

    Has anybody applied to RWK Goodman? If so could you tell me the email address for grad recruitment? I can’t submit my app because I need to verify my email address, but when I request a link to do so I never receive one through the automated system setup.
