Thanks, Jessica. I think I can convey that better in writing in an application, but I find it harder to do when it is a timed VI.

Okay, thank you! I've sent grad rec an email to confirm as well. It is a one-time link so I am not sure if it is on Launchpad. The link does say talentonview though so it might be that. Yes, it is for a VI.- Sonia_Kawaii

Hi @Jessica Booker I am a little confused by this. Can you please clarify? "Please complete this as soon as you are able to, and by midnight on Thursday 10th June at the latest." Does this mean that I have the whole of Thursday or up until Wednesday (23:59)? Thank you x- Sonia_Kawaii

When one door closes, another one opens :) You smashing that telephone interview today and getting that Fieldfisher AC literally on the spot is proof of how great of a candidate you are!
