    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    If I am applying for a direct TC with a firm would I put an upcoming vacation scheme with a different firm in my work experience section or not? As it can show I have been successful in applying elsewhere but at the same time as it's with a different firm it may look odd/out of place?

    Has anyone done the weightmans questionnaire but not the verbal reasoning? The tests are due today at 5pm and I didn't realise they were separate, so worried I may get penalised for not doing the VRT (which has yet to be sent to me, as it gets sent after you do the questionnaire).

    I emailed CRS and they said they'd be in touch in the next week or so (though that was 9 days ago).

    Hi I did, have you had an interview? I haven't so I'm thinking it might be a rejection :/

    I haven't heard from CRS so I'm assuming it's a rejection :/
