Hi @Bread and @pcarey I saw you guys liked the burges salmon post AC question, just wondering when you heard back and if you could share if it was positive or negative news as I am still waiting and am trying to figure out my chances. Thanks
Hi! I received positive news on Friday (28th). I think they said in an email that everyone should hear back by the 5th/6th regarding the AC application.

Hi, I just wanted some advice with regards to reapplying to a firm.

I interviewed at a firm last year and was unsuccessful. I want to reapply, and was wondering what I should do differently at application stage since I was successful previously and the questions more or less remain the same :/

I did ask what the reapplication policy is like and recruitment said its fine.
Thanks :)

The wait after interviews is actually so draining because best believe I will be overthinking everything I did on the day until I get a response back from the firm.

Hello, does anyone have any advice for the assessment centre group interview task on how to prepare? I am terrified of someone asking me to talk more
Hey mate, congrats on getting to AC.
Honestly in my experience the prospect of someone asking you to talk more is reasonably small, if anything it tends to be the opposite in that it's difficult to get a word in because everyone wants to say something lol.
Best thing to do is to form an opinion on the matter whilst being flexible to others' views. It's not a matter of who can take command of the situation/who is a good "leader", rather, the point of the exercise is to assess how you work in a team.
