[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 93454, member: 17155"] Hi [USER=6855]@Peanut[/USER], I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with getting feedback. I found both the TCLA application review service and booking weekly/bimonthly 1:1 meetings with my uni's careers service incredibly helpful in understanding where I could improve my writing and what I needed to do to develop my motivations for a career in commercial law. I also made it a point to run my applications past family/friends so that I could get the perspective of someone who knows me really well to understand if I am expressing myself authentically. Do you think any of these things could be beneficial to you in understanding where you can improve? At the end of the day, there are loads of factors that you can barely control, if at all, that may influence a rejection- the volume of applications, minor details here and there, the time you apply etc. You could go down the SAR route if you think you would benefit from knowing how firms are viewing your applications but I would also encourage you to simultaneously undertake your own review of what you think is working and isn't. Chances are the latter would be more exhaustive and informative than the former, based on what [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has said above. Lastly, please do reach out to us if we can help you with any questions you have while making applications. I understand that this process can be demoralising and frustrating at times but you are doing so well by reaching out here to seek the forum's support- it really is incredibly commendable 👏 👏 👏 [/QUOTE]
