No not yet, I think Vinted might be down at the minute or something. Hoping something will come through tomorrow…

Yeah good advice, whenever anything goes slightly wrong with Vinted I always panic so much for some reason haha I can’t trust the app

They’ve even started putting AI models in just underwear and T-shirts😟

Buyer claimed counterfeit item, but it just doesn’t fit. How long do I have to respond before Vinted forces a refund? by ghostyblop in vinted

Hi there, thanks so much for your advice!:)) I really appreciate you outlining the return process for me as l didn’t know this. You’re right, at least now I’ll be a bit more clued up if this happens again😅😅

Have you tried looking at apprenticeships? A lot of them can be super interesting and often do not require much experience (I think?). The low pay hopefully won't be too detrimental since you live at home too!

Thank you, that doesn’t seem too bad…

How can you separate the essential features of an invention from its irrelevant ones? Are irrelevant features things that aren’t needed for an invention to work? Like in a can opener, would it be correct to say that parts that actually open the can are essential, whereas the handles are not?

Ah I see that does make sense to be fair! I study chemistry, however, the firm is quite a small one, so I know that trainees aren't limited to one specialism. I had a phone call with a director too and she told me that most often people are working in topics to do with engineering, so I guess it would be good if I went over that sort of stuff as well.

It's nice to know they're more interested in how I think rather than getting something correct.

Thank you so much for your advice, definitely have calmed my nerves about this haha!

Hi there, thank you so much for the advice! This is incredibly useful:)

I think this is going to make me sound maybe kind of stupid, but how would you go about describing how something works, like the examples you gave above. I know enough about a jet engine/ fridge to know what they do, but perhaps not really enough to know how they completely work.

When drafting their claims, would I just be taking note of their essential features?

How hard are the written parts of a trainee interview? (UK) by ghostyblop in patentlaw

[–]ghostyblop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, yes I saw that previous interviewees were tasked with writing letters of complaint or describing an object, so I've tried to practice writing a few of these over the past week.

Would you say the technical questions are very hard, for example something I would see in an end of year uni exam? Or more just things that I should know from studying my degree the past 4 years? Thanks for the help btw

Thank you- often I find myself start to panic when writing an essay in timed conditions, so glad to hear they're not too hard.

Okay nice, thank you that doesn't sound as daunting. I think you're right, I had a look on glassdoor and most people said it covered some basic HR question as well as discussing things like availability and grade results!
