[QUOTE="Jake Rickman, post: 149314, member: 8521"] As someone that was also an international applicant and who struck out for at least five application cycles before netting a TC, I distinctly remember the feeling of rejection and my inclination to equate that with my self-worth. However, from a resilience and self-preservation perspective, I had to teach myself to divorce the outcome of an application from my inherent self-worth. The TC application process is not a measure of your ability to be a good solicitor, nor even a good trainee solicitor necessarily. It is in part designed to see how good you are at the TC application process, which graduate recruitment views a proxy measure of the key competencies solicitors should demonstrate. But even this is not full-proof or conclusive. The exact way in which firms screen applicants is shrouded in a black box, and I strongly suspect that a lot of it comes down to chance. If you are committed to becoming a solicitor, you have to think in terms of staying motivated and ambitious. If you want this, you will get it. It might take several cycles. But if you are persistent, you will refine your TC application strategy and eventually you will get what you want. [/QUOTE]
