[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 211571, member: 30779"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] (or others with experience of graduate recruitment) I wonder how I should handle this situation? I have two VS offers as shown in this calendar: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1746028087495.png"]7127[/ATTACH] I have accepted firm A's four-day VS, which is their only route to a TC. I have now also received a VS offer from firm B, which lasts for 10 days (2 full weeks). Firm B has a direct TC route, and I guess that they take about half the candidates from each route. I need to be pragmatic in that I want a TC, and I'd like to be open to getting one from either or both of firm A and firm B, so if I were to rescind my previous acceptance to firm A, then I could only get an offer from firm B. Therefore I want to email firm B, and ask them if I can attend for only the first week and (at their option) the last day of the VS. However, I'm not really sure how this will come across; e.g., is it a good idea for me to mention either or both of these points in an initial email asking to attend for 5 or 6 days of the VS: 1) that firm A does not have a direct TC intake, only via VS 2) that if I'm not able to attend for part of firm B's VS, that I'd like to attend firm B's direct TC assessment centre.
