    For Latham - do they look at your stage 1 - stage 2 and your application holistically? Do they put more emphasis on the VI rather than the application?

    I am following up from this thread: I got ad strengths working with others and excellence but also got Resource and Work Management as weakness. Not quite sure on their criteria and what counts as good or bad. Any advice? 😊

    Anyone heard from W&C winter post app? Either rejection or VI? Considering that the winter scheme would begin in two weeks, I have now given up. However I am still hopeful that I may be considered for spring maybe? Anyone on the same boat? 😊
