    Hi, Opinion may differ but I don’t think it matters, as long as the lighting is good. I did my last VI in the early afternoon but still chose to close the curtain and turn on the lights, just in case. I got through to the AC. Good luck!!

    Hi, To anyone that can help please maybe @Andrei Radu or @Amma Usman. I have my first AC coming up and I’m trying to research deals from the firm. Should I focus on deals from the same area or a wider range please?

    Hey, this is a really valid feeling. I expressed the same sentiment to my friend (an associate at an MC firm) and she said even she had felt the same during the app stage. Taking a break will definitely help clear your head but don’t give up. You can definitely do this!!!

    Someone got a VI today, so I think they’ll follow last year’s format and AC invites will come after the Christmas break. Especially as they’re non rolling, I think they’re waiting to receive all VIs??Fingers crossed for good news 🤞
