Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shalli" data-source="post: 45405" data-attributes="member: 4717">Hey, I am really sorry that you are currently feeling this way, but I really want to echo what others have already said. What you are feeling is totally normal and fine. Trying really hard for your career and not reaching that 'end goal' is very disheartening, especially when you know you are capable. A few words from me for what its worth;1. Please talk about your emotions to your friends/family, they can really act as a positive support system. For me, this also helped me remember that there is a life outside of my career goals and how important it was to not forget to just live my life. Sometimes being trapped in this bubble can really make self-reflecting difficult. Be that from your application front, or your performance in interviews. 2. Not making it now does not mean you never will. Your time will come. A lot of my friends from university made it into their chosen career paths and/or other highly regarded graduate jobs. I found that reminding myself that everyone has a different journey, really helped me keep positive. Just for reference, I secured my TC a few months ago, four years after graduating from the LLB. I also self-funded the LPC in 2017. 3. Step away if you need too. Again, burnout is real. With applications and a fulltime job, it is so easy to get overwhelmed and consumed with stress and the pressure we put on ourselves. It is ok to take time off. In many ways, that time off can help you gain motivation. Whilst working full-time, I decided to slash the number of applications I did and tried to just focus on making them the best they could be - being realistic helped me a lot here. As a student, it is sometimes easier to be more flex with your time and to therefore do more apps. Working full-time can make this harder so prioritise the places you are really interested in (that should hopefully reflect in your apps too!). 4. Using work experience from university can still be valid - I mentioned a few examples in my interview this year and the partners/GR team who interviewed me still wanted to hear about it. Please do not put yourself down and think that you are less attractive, most organisations if not all, will value the experience you bring. If they don't, just consider if you really want to work for that type of a place anyways? I hope that some of the above is helpful, but please do take it easy and don't be so hard on yourself. 2020 has been an incredibly difficult year and the fact that you have continued to try to reach your career goals, says a lot about you and your drive. If you want to talk about anything, my inbox is always open!R.</blockquote>
