    Considering how cheap and easy it is to get another bottle, even a plastic one for 70p, I'd probably avoid it.

    Ty for responses, huge relief for me. I always try so hard to never reuse an experience, but it can get quite difficult in longer interviews. This made me way more relaxed for my upcoming interview :cool:

    Is it acceptable to refer back to work experience already mentioned in a previous response but with a different situation in a competency interview?

    Does anybody have any tips or resources for written exercises, I feel like I really let myself down in them every time despite a relatively strong interview performance :(

    It took them a month to reject me post AC for WVS, idk why but just speaking to other people they seem to be absolutely terrible in terms of getting back to you.

    Plenty of firms have a no-second-interview policy, if they wouldn't legitmately consider you I dont think they would encourage you to reapply.

    I haven't personally done this, but after failing in the Macfarlanes AC, in my feedback call grad recruitment specifically encouraged me to apply for their TC in the same cycle. Slaughter and May also did this - so its defo possible.

    For learning the underlying reasoning TCLA has a good course on it, a free alternative is "commercial comrade" on youtube. For the tests I literally just searched Watson Glaser practice and checked every link.

    they ignored my email asking roughly when we will hear back by. It would at least be nice to know if we are being considered for other schemes/if WVS is filled. If I dont hear back today, Monday will have been 4 weeks since my AC without a peep.
