    Thanks a lot Jessica, that is really helpful! I definitely get the point of not rehashing the same things and instead using the question as an opportunity to demonstrate something which hasn't been discussed elsewhere.

It is really disappointing to know though since a lot of firms these days recruit exclusively or pre dominantly from Vacation Schemes and it puts us as international candidates at a huge disadvantage.
