Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alice G" data-source="post: 37498" data-attributes="member: 1160">[USER=3699]@LU123[/USER] [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has said much of what I could and more! But I felt it might be helpful for you to hear your situation isn’t dissimilar from mine. I only made around 6 apps I think in each year and that was a figure I was happy with. I was always picky on the firms I wanted to potentially join and it also came down to time for me. I also spent probably an unreasonable amount of time on apps (this wasn’t really because I struggled with the wording or getting things down but more so because I am a perfectionist and just favour taking my time to refine something). I do think the best apps should take time but maybe just give yourself 30 mins a day to work on it. This will maybe help as you have a dedicated time to focus on the task and you may feel less daunted and overwhelmed by taking incremental stages to complete the app. I also think that there is a lot to be said in taking a day or two away from An app to truly ‘read’ it again.I think that it’s very common to feel as you do. Applications are your first hurdle and can make or break your potential candidacy with a firm for that cycle- that’s a big deal. But you have to believe that you can write a great app and as Jess has said, you evidently can!! Try to diminish the feeling of ‘all or nothing’ with apps. Not every one will succeed- even the strongest app writers will get attention least one rejection at the app stage. That rejection has no bearing on your candidacy or how strong you are, it simply means for that particular firm there are other candidates who better suit their culture and approach. I really hope this helps and glad you posted this- you’re absolutely not alone and I’m sure many candidates will feel reassured to hear they’re not as well <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
