[QUOTE="Blue cacti, post: 119129, member: 5393"] Hi [USER=3673]@Moon[/USER], I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling this way! First things first, take some time to relax and get out of the law application mindset for a bit - when I’m feeling down surrounding myself with family and friends always helps! 🙂 Secondly, I would take the time to reflect on any feedback given at each VS, or request feedback where possible. Sometimes it is something small you can work on and sometimes it might just not be the right firm/s for you! Thirdly, make the most of your network. When I applied, I contacted future trainees on LinkedIn (they tend to be less busy!) at each firm I applied to and asked them politely to review my applications and/or discuss later stages of the application process. This will give you a better insight into the specific firm, which you will likely find useful during any future vacation scheme itself. And lastly - I know this will be a confidence knock, but as resilience is one of the key attributes of lawyers, when you succeed it will be all the more of an achievement. I have every confidence as long as you reflect on feedback and implement any constructive criticism going forward, you will have every success. I hope this helps 😊 [/QUOTE]
