Indeed DC, you’re preaching to the converted. The world is far from ideal and I sincerely applaud the hard work that has doubtless gone into wrestling the exclusive cadet deal away from the integrated schools on this occasion and if the company is going to run an exclusive recruitment campaign then far better that it focuses on the hard working individuals who have had the initiative to join the company in other positions and build up a good rep.
Is your personal opinion that this situation might continue for subsequent recruitment campaigns or is it possible that one of the integrated schools could drag the deal back?
If this is going to be a regular thing then I can imagine that Thomson will be swamped with MEIR holder applications for every job opportunity that arises.
