Well I can't go into specifics because I don't know you. However, I propose this to you: You truly have achieved the ultimate application and you're still getting rejected. If this is true, you're never going to get an offer. or There is something you are missing and you haven't found it...- PirateShip

I don't mean this in a confrontational way, but it seems you are veering slightly into the "I am entitled to an offer" mindset. You gotta' snap out of that. It's not going to do you any favours. It is a brutal process, which is why it's important to be honest with youself. You've listed out...- PirateShip

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
I recently joined a new company and my role is basically exactly the same as my role at my previous employer. In the interest of saving word count by not repeating myself, would it be okay to write something like: "the tasks of this role were the same as my current role"? I've been at my...- PirateShip

I’m not sure I understand the point of the email they sent out 😅 Hedging their bets, I suppose. Ah well, no sense dwelling on it. We all just got to keep pushing on 😎- PirateShip

I received the same email yesterday. Wasn't sure whether it was an email they send to everyone. I applied beginning of November, so it might just be a case of applying a bit too late.- PirateShip

Yeah, practice makes perfect. From a few practice tests, it's the "recognizing assumptions" part that I tend to score lowest on, so time to get to work. I actually thought I was rather strong on WGs, so in a weird way I'm kind of glad to now know it's a weakness I can address. I am now...- PirateShip

PFO from CMS. Taking it as a sign that I need to practice Watson Glaser tests a bit more. I've scored highly on them in the past but need to improve consistency. Anyone have any recommended methods?- PirateShip

Small trick I learnt: once you've finishing writing something in Word, copy and paste it into a draft email in Gmail. Google's grammar check often finds things that Word's doesn't (and vice-versa).- PirateShip
