I was quite ready to give the PC's a go in 2018...

    JBoyd - A Recruiting Story

    From handing in the application to getting an offer was under a month for me, but as you'll read all over this board some people it can take much longer for a wide range of reasons. Dont worry too much about that right yet, just focus doing as well as is possible in the application process...
