[QUOTE="cmaj, post: 25081, member: 3108"] I took a break this weekend to take my mind off of things and have just come back to this and wow! Thank you all so much. I am so grateful and this has made me feel so much better. Thank you so much - this is ever so kind. I know this is what I want to do so I'm just going to pick myself up, get as much experience as I can over the next few months and have one more crack at it next season. It's so tough after knowing that I was so close last year, but you're so right, I need to remain resilient. I'm so sorry to hear you keep getting so close as well!!! Doesn't it feel awful? But you ahve to do the same - the fact you've got to so many ACs shows that you are capable and will be able to do this. We are in this together! :D Again, thank you so much for these kind words, I feel like I want to cry all these comments are so lovely! This is what I found difficult in a way, on this forum it felt like everyone was getting schemes and training contracts and I felt so alone in not being successful this year. I had no idea that people on here even did mock interviews or would critique applications but that would be the biggest help in the world. I'm just trying to view it in the way of one day I will be a solicitor - this year just isn't the year for me for some reason. My previous VS is what's keeping me going through it, I know I am capable, I just need to get past this initial hurdle! I've been doing as many Legal Cheek events as possible but as a grad in full time employment, it's so difficult to get other experience and use services like Aspiring Solicitors :( I have no idea what Rare and SEO are though so I'll look into them too. :) Thank you so much Jaysen. This is correct - I put so much time and energy in that it feels awful, but maybe I invested TOO much this time and overdid it... How do I go about finding people to look over my apps? I think all of your advice is correct and I'm going to take a break and not apply to TCs as it would likely be a waste of my time. I'm going to see if I can instead apply to a new job and change careers maybe to something with more of a legal aspect to show that I'm more serious... Totally right. Oh my gosh this would be absolutely amazing!!! Would you really?! I'll drop you a message now!!! [/QUOTE]
