I applied for the second week, and idk they said they offer about 20 positions overall, and there's only 5 departments so splitting it over the 2 weeks yeah I'm guessing about 2 per department??

Me either. Oh well, I don't think I was expecting to get a place anyway since there are so few places. Good luck to everyone else.

I didn't get it either, unfortunately. In hindsight I shouldn't have been so optimistic about it since so few people get places. :frown:

Well done to anyone on TSR who did get an offer, though! :h:

I got rejected too, very disappointing.
Does anyone know the age limit for applying because I think I'll apply next year?
Also what are people thinking of doing instead?

Hey congrats!! If you don't mind saying, what do you think it was that made your application successful? I didn't get in and I'm going to reapply next year so some tips would be great! :smile:

Applied to the PwC business insight week, you could look at KPMG discovery? I've managed to get a place on the IEA sixth form internship. I still need some work experience for the 2nd slot my sixth form have given me though, any ideas anyone? related to finance/economics

Do you think it would be possible to get work experience with a government department?

In questions about experience I write about my debate in Debate Society, the debate is about EU and we support out EU. We won btw. I criticised the lack of information from the government/ sources that may led voters feeling ambiguously which side to vote.

I was feeling of writing my personal statement actually. Formal, enthusiastic and committed with my interest.

However, they still move me to Digital services to monitor the online pages of house of commons and intranet service, the areas that I have no idea about. I hate working around computers and online pages. And I'm also unable =)) However the main point is I got in =)))))

They said that due to the calibre of applications, they may not be able to say the application wasn't successful. I remember reading it on the preview page.
