How long did you have to prep for it and was it in-person?

 

[Connie2410]

How long did you have to prep for it and was it in-person?

As for how long we had to prep, it depended on the date you selected. For instance, I couldn't do their earlier dates, so I chose one a week later. It wasn't in person; if you are successful at that stage, you are invited to an in-person AC with a group task and interview. I'll find out this week whether I will progress, so fingers crossed!!
