Those that were interested in (and growing more annoyed at) the personality tests/GBA that firms are using might be interested in this, though granted it's for an American audience: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/mar/03/they-become-dangerous-tools-the-dark-side-of-personality-tests- TiredPG

Sole Trader: Birkenstock Agrees to Sell its Business to LVMH-backed L Catterton
I actually think this is quite a smart acquisition. I have a few pairs and use them inside and out. They're also the only kind of footwear I'm aware of my friends purchasing during the pandemic - they're super handy for just running out to shops, etc. if you cba putting on shoes and also work...- TiredPG

Out With the Old, In With The New(s)? Not for Facebook Australia
I think this is especially important in the context of Facebook. A vast majority of media/news publishers were encouraged, and even payed, by Facebook to begin producing quick, shareable video content as that was what was effective on their platform. Then Facebook changed their algorithm to take...- TiredPG

Yes, it's absolutely fantastic. You get invited to loads of open days/events (I got about two/three per month) just for Aspire mentees, app review/coaching calls, and they've specific insights into the firms they work with that you can utilise.- TiredPG

Perhaps frame it differently if you don't want to say that, i.e. increased xx membership of xx by xx% which fed into the society's diversity and inclusion initiatives?- TiredPG

Goodbye, Fiat: Tesla’s Investment in Bitcoin
I don't think Bitcoin (nor those others mentioned above) is going to last. It is an ideology and has the benefit of fame (or infamy), and that's evidenced in the extreme volatility. It is not the friend of governments nor banks or businesses, so I think if it is still around, it will be in spite...- TiredPG

I had a friend who had to do this for a Masters and he had to calculate it with reference to the module grades and the module credit weighting of modules which counted towards his final degree award. I would contact the organisation and they should be able to give you guidance!- TiredPG

If there's serious issues going on at home the university should take that into account variously - uncapped resit, capped resit, extenuating circumstances, repeating the module, pass/fail, etc. You should tell them to be honest with their personal tutor and ask for help rather than cheating...- TiredPG

Cannot recommend AS highly enough. If you fall within their requirements - register. I got invited to random events which gave me great exposure to firms. I was also on this years Aspire programme - if you can, apply for it as well (sometime in the Summer). Any of the success I have had this...- TiredPG

You can do a GDL bundled with an LLM or just marketed as an LLM (or a two-year MA) - they are eligible for the PG loan which should cover a year's fees and keep you on the GDL/LPC path as far as I'm aware.- TiredPG

Whilst I don't agree with their policy, I do not think that it's age discrimination. Anyone can start a degree at any age; they are not filtering based on age, they're filtering based on when one started their degree. It is no different to other firms or companies having schemes for first...- TiredPG

Same, 100% - I had never done one before and TV's email made it sound like the aptitude test was a separate test, so I ended up finishing level 9 earlier to get within the average time, thinking level 10 was another game and not the aptitude test itself :rolleyes: The graphics themselves are...- TiredPG
