[QUOTE="LegalLigase, post: 222341, member: 42812"] Hi everyone, I received a PFO for the Latham Open Day today after completing the stage 2 online assessment two weeks ago. Congratulations to all who were successful! I'm now focusing on strengthening my future vacation scheme application and would be grateful for any insights from those who progressed. I have a few specific questions: [LIST=1] [*][B]Post-Stage 2 PFO:[/B] If the rejection comes after Stage 2, does it typically indicate that the VI performance was the primary reason? While I believe my VI could have been stronger, I want to be thorough in my reflection. [*][B]Scenario-Based Questions:[/B] For the hypothetical questions (e.g., "How would you handle X?"), I structured my answers by outlining my approach and then [B]briefly linking it to a relevant past experience[/B] to demonstrate a proven method. Was this an effective strategy, or were they looking for a different response style? [*][B]Broader Preparation:[/B] Beyond this, what other tips do you have for excelling in Latham's VI and any critical reasoning tests? [*][B]Holistic Reflection:[/B] If the reason isn't solely the VI, what other parts of the application should I critically re-examine? How did you ensure your written application (work experience description, written answers for supporting questions) truly stood out for Latham specifically? [/LIST] I would be incredibly grateful if anyone would be willing to share their written application answers via private message as a reference for structure and detail. Of course, any general advice posted in reply is also highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help. [/QUOTE]
