Thank you for your response! I have made a list of firms that I want to apply to and I am also looking for experience to make my application better.Hey @hopefulforatc,
I can totally sympathise with you regarding how difficult the process especially as an international student. I think that this cycle has been very hard and very competitive so I would congratulate you for just applying to a lot of firms and give it a go. I am sure you have learned/are learning a lot from the process.
I think that there are some things you can do to start with which I shared on this post which I think would be useful: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ons-discussion-thread-2023-4.8038/post-170058
Secondly, I would try and prepare beforehand for the next cycle, whether it is making sure you have a very detailed list of firms you want to apply to with pages of research on each specific firm that you can update as the months progress, or speaking to future trainees and trainees who currently are at the firm who can share tips on how to prepare for the application stages and interview stages of the law firms. This will allow you to understand what is going on and be prepared for what is coming.
I hope this is helpful and good luck with next cycle!
I seem to fail the video interviews which is something I have to work on as well.
