    Is it a PFO if we haven't got a VI yet for W&C spring scheme?

    It makes sense, but I also wonder whether people from certain background have been prepped for interviews their whole lives and others have not had such opportunities! CV-blind means the interviewer wouldn't be able to take this into consideration

    This might be a silly question, but what happens if you miss the phone call with the results from your AC? The main reason I ask this is because I have a bad habit of waking up rather late... morning phone calls would likely go unanswered...

    Can CV-blind interviews hurt candidates from underprivileged backgrounds, because interviewers will not have the chance to put their performance into context?

    After I completed the written exercise, they sent me a follow-up e-mail saying 'Now that you have completed the written exercise, you can click here to access the video interview' - very strange!

    Once one reaches interview stage, is everyone on a level playing field? Or will grad rec sometimes have certain applicants in mind that really stood out that they just want to confirm in interview, while other interviewees would need to be really impressive in interview?

    I have to say, it's very interesting to me that you say this as I have always been under the impression that it is a big no-no to call a professional by their first name - I am often myself addressed as 'Mr' in an e-mail even though I'm a student!
