    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I forgot to delete a sort of note for myself to add in an example literally ''a sentence {example}'' and then I continued and somehow despite reading back through it 5 times I missed it - starting to think that the fact I have not heard back yet is because they saw it and full on ghosted me. so...

    how do they look at it with the arctic shores tho? is there a benchmark? bc it is not like a regular test like SJT or WG, like idk but the personality analysis with arctic shores was buzzfeed quiz level so hopefully they consider it alongside the application?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
