    Hey it’s a CV (one page) and a cover letter (also one page) and then you complete an interview with a partner, also a written exercise. Let me know if you need further assistance, as I recently secured an offer with them. Happy to help :)

    I’m sure it wasn’t that bad! I would suggest having a nice relaxing afternoon. :) All the best of luck for the outcome. Was this for the winter scheme or direct TC?
