    Apologies if this is a silly question but does 'Applications for a TC can only be made through a place on the Vacation Schemes' mean you can switch a VS offer for a TC offer? Or do you have to go through the VS process normally?

    @Jessica Booker Given that ACs require a written exercise that includes either a memo, letter, or both. Can you provide some insights on how we should make them differ? Does the memo use bullet points? Does it require headings? What are the structures I should use for both of them?

    Thanks!
