[QUOTE="The-PFO-Collector, post: 172790, member: 31663"] I'm very happy for you. You've put in the work. The 47 rejections were likely hard to take as any rejection is. You could do both VS's, but would you be too tired for the Goodwin VS? That is the one that leads to a conversion and so thats the one to focus on. I personally think I would do both, but thats because I've never done one. I would even take the week in-between off to rest, do some research and make sure I was on form for my Goodwin VS. In fact, I've done this before. I quite my job for a month, so I could do my exams at uni. My manager wouldnt give me the time off, so I quit. They couldn't find anyone who was as knowledgeable as me in the month, so they called me after my exams and offered me the same job but on more money (Like £2 more an hour, but its the small wins). Yea, its hard when people are 'moaning' about multiple VS's, but its moreso when they are in their first cycle. However, I know of people who have done 4 VS's and not converted any, and now they have to explain that on their application. So its not easy for everyone. Everyone still has to work hard. Even on the TC. And to be kept on once the TC has been completed. Good Luck whatever you decide. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
