Just received my second TC offer! Over the moon would be putting it mildly! Just one more to go now. Best of luck to everyone waiting for callbacks!

Congratulations!

Remember to turn down the one you don't want promptly - it will help someone else get an offer!

    If anyone is still waiting, I just received a rejection from the GLP post CRT. I took the test on a particularly anxious day so ‘twas to be expected.

    If anyone is interested in applying to the GLP, I did make it past the SJT and VRT and would be happy to share the resources used ?

    I just received from the GLP to say I've gotten through to the online interview stage. Feels like a marathon application process, and I'm pretty surprised I passed the CRT (I can never tell if I've bombed or smashed it).
    Was wondering if anyone has experience of the type of questions they ask for the GLP? Need to start prepping!
