[QUOTE="Jessica Pearson, post: 215216, member: 33478"] [B]UPDATE[/B] [LIST] [*]I have been listening to the FT news briefing consistently (plus or minus one or two days). I'm still currently researching how to properly communicate my commercial awareness in interviews, so I had contacted some future trainees to ask for commercial questions they have been asked and tips on how to answer them. [*]I haven't completed any psychometric tests in the past two weeks because I have been focused on applying for legal jobs, primarily in legal admin and paralegal positions. I feel like this is just rejection exposure therapy at this point 😭😭. All these entry-level jobs requiring 2-3 years' experience is crazy. At least I was able to get one interview, and I'm really hoping I get the job! [*]I've drafted 2 versions of my 'why commercial law' and 1 version of my 'why me'. [*]I have created an application timetable with some extra firms I'll consider if there's time. [/LIST] [B]REFLECTIONS[/B] [LIST] [*]I initially felt like I wasn't doing enough, but looking at the things I've achieved in the past two weeks makes me feel a bit better. Personally, I think the entire application process is more mentally daunting than the actual work.
