Blake Morgan Vacation Scheme Offer!! Anyone know where to stay in reading?
Congratulations!!

Reading University have summer accommodation which is about £40 per night or around £430 for a two week stay. It will just depend on how early your vacation scheme is, as if it’s still when students are in term time, it might be difficult to find availability.

How long do vetting checks at Goldman Sachs take? Its been more than a week since I filled out their on boarding forms and haven't from them since. I do not have a reference for two internships on my CV so I did not mention them in the form I hope that is not a problem.

Does anyone know if the practice test question of 'radio is to listeners what TV is too [BLANK]' in anyway relates to Watson Glaser test?
I don't think this is a Watson Glaser question.

Watson Glaser typically requires you to read a section of more substantial information and then come to a conclusion on it in a "true", "false", "cannot determine" type way, rather than having to provide an answer like "viewers" which would be needed in the above example.

Most vetting checks will take many weeks - most companies won't return reference requests that quickly.
