Your head most of the time. But some people relish that;it's really ideal work for someone who doesn't shy away From a challenge. Thomas: Is there any advice you can give me at this point in my career, Mr Sanderson? Mr Sanderson: Well, if you're really that interested, then I'd Advise you to join a professional organisation. You should Consider applying for student membership in R3 - the main Insolvency practitioner organisation representing the Profession. They provide courses, hold conferences, publish Journals and newsletters, and things like that. You can learn a good deal about the profession. And it's a great way to do some networking while you're still at university. Thomas: Thanks for the tip. Sounds like a good idea. I've got another question, Mr Sanderson, if you don't mind. I know That insolvency practitioners have to be licensed. And to get licensed, you have to pass an exam, don't you? How difficult is the exam? Mr Sanderson: Ah, yes, the Joint Insolvency Examination. Not An easy exam, by any means. But there are preparation courses to help you get through all the material. I'd certainly Recommend one of those. Things may have changed a bit since I took it, but from what I've been told, it's not as Important to have a detailed knowledge of legislation as it is To know about practical matters, how cases are handled, What requirements and professional guidelines there are, And how these have an impact on insolvency in practice. So You should keep your eyes and ears open while on the job Here. And naturally, the importance of strong communication skills shouldn't be underestimated. Thomas: I see. What about the other qualifications you need to become licensed? Mr Sanderson: Let me see ... Well, you need to have some years' experience doing insolvency work at a law firm. I believe you have to have a minimum of five years' full-time Insolvency work experience. And not less than two of these Five years must be spent doing higher insolvency work, that Is, work involving the management or supervision of a case. And the IPA - that's the Insolvency Practitioners Association - requires that you're a member of the Association and that You hold a practising certificate. Thomas: Pretty demanding. Mr Sanderson: Quite. And the IPA also has some special Requirements for students wanting to register with them. Certain academic qualifications, I believe. I'd certainly Advise you to look into those. Thomas: Thanks for the information, Mr Sanderson. Mr Sanderson: My pleasure. Part 3 OK, the next item on the agenda is a forthcoming seminar on E-commerce. This is a one-day event, which will be dealing with many aspects of doing business online, so it's obviously very relevant for us. Can you check the date, please? I know that Last year this seminar took place in July, which caused some difficulties due to holidays, but this one's in August. The exact Date is the 7th, um, a Tuesday, I believe.
