Hi everyone, I did my VI for CMS a couple of day ago. I was sick but overall did pretty ok I'd say. Just one thing... when talking through the firm's approach to innovation I might have said the name of one of their programmes wrong - law-now -> non-law... Is it a huge mistake or am I simply overthinking it at this point?
Over thinking it in my opinion - it’s highly unlikely a decision would be made on this alone.

    Guys for CC application the personal details section can we leave term address blank if we did not live out for university. I know this may sound like a stupid question.
