Hello,
I'm wondering if you can help me. By way of introduction, I'm 23, I work in a large law firm as a paralegal and I'm currently studying the LPC part time. I attempted 5 applications last year, only reaching the second stage for 2 of them. This year will be my first official year of really trying for a TC, as in the past I've never really felt 100% ready.
I really struggle with applications. I've read guides, articles, watched videos, had help from friends but nothing seems to rid me of this anxious application feeling. I found last year that it took me around 3 weeks to complete 1 application, which really isn't ideal. At the moment, I'm attempting to complete an application for an open day that has questions similar to a TC, so I'm using it as a tester. I need to submit it very soon, but even that is taking me longer than it should.
I read through the questions and plan the answers, after which I physically can't start the answer, it's like my brain just goes into a melt down.
I think I'm overthinking my content too much, which then has a knock on effect on my confidence overall, which then blocks my ability to answer a question to a high standard.
I know it's definitely a personal issue that only I can solve but I'm just stuck on what to do. I don't know what the route problem is!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
