Good you’re proud of yourself and you should be!

You’re right in thinking there’s usually a client who needs a solution out of a handful, and you’re going to review them. Sometimes it’s also a contract which needs reviewing as well. 

My tips:
- sometimes these info packs for the written will have little articles about the current landscape. For example, a tech client wants to boost its sales, in that info pack there might a blog post about how people love portable chargers. Don’t neglect that those little blogs or articles in your written, make an assertion that ‘the client could expand into portable chargers considering that these sell well as per the article in the information’ 

- as above, make ASSERTIONS!! Use sentences like:
‘The client should be advised to/not to…’
‘Our client could consider the option to…’
‘We could suggest this to the client, particularly if we get this certain extra information…’
Making these judgements and assertions shows that you can make good sound suggestions and back them up with a quick sentence on why, this is what they’re looking for when marking you!

- yes, executive summary - when you go in, do your ‘dear xyz’ and your quick intro first thing, once you gather how long your body of work will be, sign off with ‘please let me know if there’s any other information I can provide’ ‘kind regards, xyz’ - please do this because many candidates forget to even sign off - once you know what you’ll suggest to the client from reading and analysing, give your executive summary in the beginning after your intro, this could say ‘overall, I suggest that xyz should pick solution 123, it seems this could be profitable considering the client’s needs and interests, I have explored the issues further below:’

- time manage well please, write down the time they say start, break up your reading and writing time separately and stay calm, breathe, this will keep your writing high quality whereas freaking out will encourage random sentences 

- make sure you answer everything they want, they usually ask you for further considerations or questions for the client, please remember to include just 2 minimum, I’ve gotten away with doing 1 before but I’ve also been rejected on the partial basis that i only had one consideration and didn’t justify it either

- justify justify justify, everything needs a sentence on why you’re mentioning something or picking the solution

- although you have loads of economics experience, don’t overload it, these tasks are just for commercial awareness for anyone to be able to do so try not to get too technical and keep it at baseline commercial interests

Good luck!
