Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alice G" data-source="post: 45377" data-attributes="member: 1160">Hi there,firstly I’m sorry you feel like this but I applaud your honesty- I think it’d be hard to find someone who’s not felt this way at some time.I also want to preface all this by saying nothing is a waste as I’m sure you learned more about yourself and developed skills from all the applications and experiences which you may not appreciate consciously.I worked and applied by my work was very flexible which is a huge privilege so I don’t think it’s fair for me to necessarily weigh in on how overwhelming it must be but I can sympathise. My first piece of advice would be to try and find something which is flexible for those who are making applications as this helped me hugely but I appreciate this isn’t always possible or easy. I have definitely felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere at times though and all I can advise you is to do as I did and make just a few apps but make sure they are absolutely perfect. I only didn’t get past the app stage around 3 times because I made fewer apps but made sure those I submitted were as good as I could make them.I used lots of work experience examples and nothing from uni so try to appraise what you have done in your work and see how they might fare for answering competency questions. I actually think this is where grads (I was a grad of 18 months before looking at law) have an advantage- we can often give better examples owing to real life work experience.if you want to chat anything through or ask me any specific questions I’m more than happy to but one thing I will end on is, you have to be in it to win it. Why not take a week or two to just take care of yourself and recuperate after what’s been a very very hard year and maybe see how you feel after a bit of time away from everything. Wishing you well and I hope this helps you in some way <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
