Obviously not Paul, but the trickiness with the visas is not necessarily with the firm but actually the U.K. government’s requirements for work visas. Most vacation schemes will not meet the points based system currently in place for some of the visas a firm could apply to. That means that even...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes, you’ll need to reference the relevance or importance to the role of a trainee. If you can link it back to HSF too, then great but I think that is less necessary to make explicitly clear. You may want to look at HSF’s values or the aspects they look for in a candidate and try to link these...- TCLA Community Assistant

As long as it is only a couple of occasions. Maybe focus on different way to write it though either with additional detail or phrasing it a different way - eg if the sentence was “I was responsible for researching companies” could easily be changed to: “I conducted research on electricity...- TCLA Community Assistant

Virtual or hybrid Vacation Schemes and virtual Assessment Days in 2022?
I’d just speak to the firm when you get to the relevant stage. Things can even change within a matter of a few weeks, so always just best to ask the firm at the appropriate time. Generally though, I think most firms will consider both in person and virtual assessments if/where they can.- TCLA Community Assistant

Sorry to hear you have had covid and that it’s hit you hard. I was ill with Covid back in December and it wiped me out so much - I still don’t think I am actually 100% from it. I am assuming you have been with your employer for less than two years? If so, unfortunately there isn’t much that can...- TCLA Community Assistant

It is quite common for people to have 1 day off RoF the scheme is three weeks or more. I personally wouldn’t advise it for a scheme of only 1-2 weeks though.- TCLA Community Assistant

If they are more than 12 months old, they are unlikely to still have them due to data protection. Even if they did review a previous open day application (unlikely as most firms don’t have the time to do this) they won’t be reading it word for word, and so the issue you are suggesting is...- TCLA Community Assistant

From a recruitment perspective it is quite normal/regular for people to either ask for a deferral or move across to a TC recruitment process instead. However, be mindful that firms will know that this is on the basis that you are doing another VS with another firm, and that other firm is likely...- TCLA Community Assistant
