Sounds good !! I got Supporter, Team Mentality and Flex as strengths, and Initiative as weakness! Hopefully were hear back soon!

Hi have you heard anything back??

Thanks again, if the reasoning for the discrepancies was that I originally had the exact dates listed next to the title of the work experience but then edited this out for formatting purposes and forgot to change the description to match the changes, would the best approach be to explain this to the firm and then offer to send an updated version of my cv ?

Was there anything in the CV that suggested it was a week's placement? Or was it just that it was listed as Month Year?

Yes, the description states a week.

Is it always advisable to find out who the head of graduate recruitment is then address the cover letter to them personally? Or, if the firm hasn't advised on this just refer to the graduate recruitment team?

Yes, the description states a week.

I don’t think you can really claim it as a formatting change then unfortunately if it’s in the description.

Is there a way you would recommend best explaining this to the firm, and how serious of an issue do you expect it to be ? Thanks
