Well BCLP rejection post AC. Not really surprised. I got asked mostly strength based questions when I was told it was a competency based interview. Anyway I've asked for feedback so I can improve. At least it's a good experience

Talking about strength based does anyone know how to structure an answer for them?

Can someone please share some tips for W&C VI? Thanks!

Sorry to hear that but as you say it’s experience to build on! If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply?

I don’t post on here often but I cannot believe I have just got my first vacation scheme offer! I cannot believe it and I cannot breathe!

I cannot thank you all enough for all your help and input on this forum! Thank you Jaysen for creating such an amazing platform with so many amazing resources!

I am not going to put the firm as I know there maybe many waiting to hear back and might feel more worried. Good luck everyone!

Hey! When did you complete the VI? Is this for the spring or summer vacation scheme?

Hi, I completed the VI about 2 weeks ago and the AC is for the summer vacation scheme.
