    TC or not TC... that is the question

    MMs interview went alright - I think I came across well (friendly & enthusiastic, researched firm well) but don't think my commercial awareness was necessarily proven. I really wanted to stand out and impress - but I suppose only time will tell. Currently just trying to file this away until I...

    Yeah that must be the case, thank you! At least knowing this will mean I'll shift my behind into gear and send it off (ie stop faffing with the details) ! I'm sure your VI was not anything like as average/poor as you thought - I (and a lot of people) finish application stages feeling I could...

    Just completed VI for Michelmores and received a feedback report. Unsure if I'll pass the benchmark with result of 20/36 (6/9 Grit, 6/9 Applied Intellect, 4/9 Creative Force, 4/9 Digital Mindset). Any insight (into whether this is any good or if I should prepare myself for PFO!) would be...
