Thank you so much @Abbie Whitlock as always your advice and support is extremely valuable to me!

If you could have one advice you would give yourself if you were going through the process again, what would it be? ☺️

Thank you so much, that's really lovely of you to say! 😊

If I could give myself one piece of advice, it would be to stop comparing my journey to everyone else's. It's so easy to feel behind when you see others getting offers or interviews, but everyone's timeline is different. I remember being so disheartened when I didn't convert any of my vacation schemes, thinking that I was super behind everyone I knew, but I ended up in the right firm for me through my only DTC application! Once I focused on improving my own applications and celebrating my small wins, the process became a lot less stressful - and I wish I had done it from the start!

You can only control certain parts of the journey, so try not to be too hard on yourself for the things that are out of your hands - the right opportunity really will come at the right time

Thank you so much Abbie and this is so true, I definitely compare and it is truly the thief of joy! I will follow your advice! I hope you update with some good news soon!😊

UPDATE

Last week was hard, I am waiting to hear from a firm I am really keen on progressing so I am trying not to spiral every 5 minutes!

However, applications are often really hard to predict so I have been distracting myself with other applications. It has been productive so far, applied to another firm and sent off an Open Day application.

Key learning from last week: I finally decided to remove any expectations, what it’s meant for me will simply find me!

Hope to send two more applications averaging 2-3 application per month so far. Slow progress but steady.

See you soon
