[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 17488, member: 1"] Thanks for having the courage to post this, you’re definitely not alone. This process can be really really brutal - the most painful ones for me were always when I’d got further along the process because by then I’d got my hopes up. As others have said, 4 ACs means you’re clearly doing something right. In each case, you’ve passed hundreds of candidates to get through and it should mean you have the right profile to get more. The point just also stands when it comes to ACs. You’re up against so many highly qualified candidates, so often it really is just time and persistence, rather than a case of you not being a strong candidate or an indication of whether or not you’d be a good lawyer. It’s frustrating for me because I see a lot of candidates that I know are exceptional receive rejections and there’s not much I can do other than say hang in there. The unfortunate truth is a lot of it is down to luck: impressing the right interviewer at the right time. You can increase your luck to an extent by continuing to work on yourself/your interview performance and continuing to apply to more firms, but the rest is out of your hands. If you are struggling, I would encourage you to take some time out and away from places like LinkedIn - there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and you could well come out better in the long run.
