    Inspiration!

    I had couple of Hello Fresh boxes in the past and I really liked it, but sometimes I did not have time to cook the meals and the produce went bad, or I did not feel like eating what I ordered the week before :D. I found Simple Cook much better for me as they sent you all the flavours and list...

    From my experience, when I did not get the test invite it was usually when I applied too late. I got rejection from Ashurst for winter scheme, without even doing the tests, but then found out I can reapply so tried my luck, send the same application for spring and received tests immediately!

    Hi Alice, I am really sorry to hear that. While the feedback may take time, I hope that it offers some insight into why they decided not to accept you. You have been an incredible help to me (and I am sure that many others) and your positive and reflective thoughts have helped me loads of times...

    Happened to me with Ashurst for their winter scheme - I assumed it got filtered out because I applied too late.
