congrats!! i was curious because i was looking to apply to them before the deadline but i suppose i’m too late?
I applied direct for TC. I‘d say don’t give up hopes yet but I did apply close to the deadline so unsure what the processing time would be like. Best wishes and I’m sure you’ve got this!
RPC WG invite applied deadline
SOS I have another (😭) British English/ American English question. Is it results-oriented or results-orientated? Checked Google and they said the latter for BE, but thought I'd double check after my draughting debacle (can you tell I'm not English 😂)
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
If a firm has a mistake in a maths question on their test should I email and inform them? I can work out which wrong answer is ‘correct’ so will get the mark but feels like I should and also makes me not trust the other questions lol. I am 100% certain it’s a mistake, my background is in maths and it’s a black and white error. Don’t want to look like a dick though (especially considering I will have got it right) but might show attention to detail and also I feel bad that other people who are less comfortable with maths might be getting it marked as incorrect because they dont know?
Hi everyone, I have my first ever AC at RPC soon. It involves an interview, a written exercise and a business meeting exercise. Ive never done an AC before and I can only find minimal info about the two exercises. If anybody has any advice, tips or insight I would be so grateful because I'm quite nervous! Either general AC tips or specific to RPC! thank you thank you.
I’ve only ever requested extra time on tests and am certain that doesn’t disadvantage you. So many people will request extra time and it’s so common that I bet firms won’t bat an eye at it. Think of all the people at your school who got extra time on exams (I didn’t at that point) and whether anyone would discount their results for that.
has anyone recieved a latham ac in the past few days? especially someone who did NOT attend the open day?
Hi, I did a negotiation for my NRF AC last year and I was so scared as I hadn't done one before and had no idea how to prepare.
What is helpful is glossing over terms you may see in a contract as you are most likely going to be negotiating terms of a contract for a client. e.g warranties, indemnities, shareholders, lock up period.
I usually love to debate, but I was intimidated during my actual negotiation because we were in teams and I was the only girl and everyone was older and I don't know why but that spooked me. I ended up not speaking as much as I had hoped. However, because I feel like I contributed quite a lot during the preparation time (which you most likely will have with an observer), I think that's what helped secure me the scheme.
What I realised is, of course you want to negotiate the best terms for your 'client', but you also want to make sure you conclude the whole thing before the time runs out. Otherwise your 'client' gets nothing.
A good way to secure extra brownie points is to either be a timekeeper, or be the person that helps provide 'structure' (if you're in a team) e.g being like hi I'll take clause 1 and 2 and you can do clause 3 and 4.
Good luck! Hope this was somewhat helpful
I’ve had many adjustments made for tests and I’ve found it doesn’t disadvantage me to be progressed onto the next stage

I don't really remember because I applied a long time ago... But im pretty sure I put summer if there was an option because I cannot work during term-time...
Better to be overdressed than underdressed but casual usually refers to not needing a blazer or tie - avoid jeans, trainers, and sweats
I'd still just wear a suit no tie - better to be overdressed than underdressed!
