One of the CMS application questions is "Describe your proudest achievement and what challenges you have had to overcome". Is that two separate questions on an achievement, and some challenges, or is it asking to describe an achievement and challenges you had to overcome along the way to getting it?
I think that the second interpretation you have given seems to be what they are looking for in my opinion!

Definitely agree with this - they want you to focus on the difficulties in achieving the proudest achievement. Some proudest achievements are sometimes things that are fairly easy to obtain/complete, so it’s important to pick something that was challenging/difficult for this particular question.

    Hey guys I have a question!

    For Goodwin, I notice they have a healthy direct route process and it has the same deadline as the vac scheme. Since I have some legal experience, would you suggest that I try to go down the direct route?
