[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 208623, member: 2672"] From what you have said, I sense they are probably waiting for you to confirm in writing you are declining the vacation scheme offer. Unfortunately saying this over the phone isn't sufficient - they will need something in writing from you first and I suspect then they will reference the direct TC process from there. I would email them confirming you are declining the vacation scheme offer and that as per your phone conversation you look forward to hearing more about the direct TC recruitment process instead. You would have needed to tell the firm one way or another you were not accepting the offer - I think it is better to do this over the phone so you can show your enthusiasm for the firm (positive tone is much easier to pick up in a call than in an email) and also discuss what the alternatives are. So it is not an issue that you called them. Whatever way you told them, the process from there on for the direct TC process would have been the same. I doubt they will rescind any offer to convert to a direct TC process, but this is likely to include further assessments - firms rarely will just offer TCs off the back of VS assessments. [/QUOTE]
