    @Jessica Booker Hi Jess, what are your thoughts on submitting the same application for the third cycle in the row? The last two apps to this firm I used the same answers and I succeeded in getting to the next round.

    For one of the questions on Simmons automatic SJT - why does it mention 'project delivery' and 'software' on the answers when none of these are stated in the diagram? This was the case last year also.
