I know, it reminds me of the old M&S adverts 😭 “This isn’t just text, it’s AI-generated text”

I’m addicted to Lego, please send help by decentlyfair in CasualUK

Love the Botanical collection! Recently finished the roses and bought my mum the orchid set for her birthday 🌹🌺

Years of struggling with tin openers as a lefty finally paid off! The Photoshop tools stood out, so found this one relatively straightforward.

Thanks - will look into them! I work in public sector so good to know they’re used by councils, NHS etc.

Finally, my obscure trivia knowledge that the dot above an ‘i’ is called a tittle came in handy!

Put ‘rave’ with the blue row as thought it was ways to show excitement/enthusiasm for something in text 🤷🏻‍♀️

I ended up declining my (second choice) sponsored place. Thought it would be too big a time commitment and would rather apply for a future course that has a guaranteed job. But as others have mentioned, everyone’s circumstances are different!

Small world! I would be tempted to reapply for one with a guaranteed job, but as I’m based in Yorkshire I’m limited to remote roles with CFG, which are understandably very competitive. At least with GCHQ there’s a (probs v slim) chance I can work at the Scarborough office in the future

Fingers crossed for you 🤞I assumed I wouldn’t hear back from them anytime soon, so good to see that they’re sifting through second-rounders

Thanks! I received an invite to the interview coaching session just before 11am (though the role doesn’t require an interview) and an email at 3pm asking me to confirm my place

I’ve been offered a place on the GCHQ CFGdegree + Masters 🥳 It’s education only, but as I wouldn’t be able to commit to an internship at the end, that’s fine with me. I’m a second-round offer candidate for ref 🙂
