[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 55429, member: 1572"] CC is an abnormality. And honestly I don’t think I will ever understand the system no matter how many videos they release to justify it but maybe that’s just me. Otherwise no firm prefers one age group/one graduating year over another. Plenty of graduates apply and secure vacation schemes even when they’re technically geared to penultimate year students! I’d also like to say that its never over for anyone. Ever. Grades are only one small part of what firms want and as long as you meet the minimum requirements/have mitigating circumstances you’re still a strong candidate. It’s cliche advice but securing a TC is a marathon and not a sprint. There are gonna be some cycles that are tougher than others and there are gonna some people with more rejections and more years of trying than others. This may be an unpopular opinion but, I believe there is a huge amount of luck involved in getting a TC and sometimes some of us have to work for longer than others before that little bit of luck we all need finally swings in our favour. It’s only over if you give up, but if you really want this career and believe it is for you, then nothing can stop you from trying and I really believe you will get there. [/QUOTE]
