[QUOTE="LU123, post: 37396, member: 3699"] No not blunt at all, I really appreciate the advice and you're definitely right. My issue is also comparing myself to other people and their achievements, which I shouldn't be doing. You're also right about my applications last year, I hadn't really thought of it that way. I think because generally, the majority of people seem to submit 10 applications and I can only manage around 5 due to the length of time it takes me. I put myself down too much, which is a bad habit. Yeah during university I struggled with essays etc, although my role as a paralegal requires lengthy emails and letters to the clients with advice, and funnily enough I'm perfectly fine with that. Do you have any advice on opening sentences to answering questions such as, 'why have you decided to pursue a career in law' or 'why are you interested in X firm?' - the only thing I seem to come up with is 'I am interested in.... because'. I will definitely be taking advantage of the help offered by TCLA this year for sure! [/QUOTE]
