@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica! In one of my applications, I have not filled out the equal opportunity monitoring questions (gender/birthday/etc). Will this affect my application?
No - these questions are optional (either by non completion or by choosing “I do not disclose” and are used for reporting purposes across applicants. Answers are not accessible in terms of seeing an individual’s answers in the recruitment process.

Someone here posted they got a TC with NFR (congrats!!) -- do most firms hand out TCs on a rolling basis?? I thought the ACs for direct TCs would be like in the summer.
I am fairly certain this was off the back of their winter scheme. They will purposely still hold back opportunities for their summer process.

    Also did Kennedys VI this morning, it’s so interesting how I can have no nerves before a VI and know what i plan to say inside out and even so, as soon as i hit that record button, my brain goes out the window!! Kind of bombed the first question but i hope the recruiter sees through my nerves as my second and third question were much better in my opinion, once i relaxed

    Hi! Same!! I hate that most firms use it now since it’s sm harder than a real interview! Honestly so terrified of this one because they give no indication as to what to expect, i.e commercial or competency or motivational 🥲
