Congrats! Three of us from here all going to be on the same course it seems :) 1754609185 Thank you! For the presentation I’d say try to engage with the interviewers at various points throughout, add a dollop of humour here and there, and try to include something that’ll make you stand out a...

Sorry, only just seen your message! I had no issues with the questionnaire but didn’t hear anything from H&W until mid-afternoon yesterday after Emma chased them up. Did you get sorted in end? 1753218925 Thank you! Looks like we’re going to be colleagues before the year’s out :) 1753218963 Leeds.
