So guys, I have my AC tomorrow and I'm steaming my shirt when I notice the collar has a microscopic little spot on it. It could honestly seem like fuzz. Is this fine and I'm overthinking it? (My blazer is going over the collar and I have really long hair) I can't attach a photo for some reason

I would say you are absolutely fine, as long as it's not clearly Dorito dust collected over seven days of wearing the shirt without washing it! Just don't be self-conscious about it, like don't keep touching it or covering it up. Quite honestly, if you're going to travel on the tube, a microscopic little spot on the collar of your shirt is the least you can expect. I've worked in pretty corporate environments, and I absolutely hate it when people just kind of coast through their workwear choices (looking at you, guys who buy a five-pack of shirts and wear them until they are translucent). And I would never judge someone for a smudge that can and will happen by just being alive in a huge city. If you had yellow stains under your arms - yeah, that's bad, please make an effort and get it properly cleaned. But a smudge on the collar of your steamed shirt? Thank you for steaming, don't worry about the tiny spot.

I got basically the same numbers, just different categories if its any consolation hahaha. Im wondering if they are only using these scores to progress to the AC or if its still taken into account with the AI test answers/grades and work experience on the written app

I got the same numbers in different categories too. Hope it’s just the numbers my AI chat was a shocker.. which is why I believe everybody was advanced to SJT

Yeah I got an offer the day after I did mine. I think it depends how quickly the partners relay the information to early recruitment. Best of luck!
