March's questions included:
- I have an interview for a really attractive job but have been asked to make a presentation as part of it. It's meant to be about me, what I would bring to the firm and how I would help build the department I will be helping to set up. Though I am reasonably well qualified for the role, the thought of having to pitch for it like I'm on Dragon's Den fills me with dread. What should I do?
- My firm is about to recruit a senior lawyer with whom I worked at a previous firm. He's a nightmare - superficially nice, I'm sure, but unpleasant to people he considers beneath him and just not a very good lawyer. Everyone at my old firm thought the same. Should I say something?
