[QUOTE="Helena, post: 24909, member: 32"] I understand your feelings completely and cycles can be so different from one year to the next. That may be because the firm has deferred candidates from previous cycles so potentially less positions on offer, maybe a scale down in numbers for internal reasons. Please don’t think it’s you as the fact that you completed a VS is testament in itself that you have what it takes. I have yet to get that despite having a very successful (in my eyes) cycle last year getting to ACs with 12/15 firms. The journey is tough and 2/3/4 cycles these days is quite the norm. As Jessica said I think evaluating your apps, getting someone else to look at them, self evaluating ( never easy) to see areas that could be polished further. Believe me you are doing nothing wrong! This is a seriously competitive business but stay in it for the long haul, believing it’s what you want and you will make it. You are not alone in this. Most of us ( I speak for many) are on the second or third cycle . It’s par for the course. Ask yourself - do I really want this? If you do , please don’t give up. You clearly have what it takes. Believe - seriously. Have faith and move forward with conviction . [/QUOTE]
