[QUOTE="Camilla, post: 38848, member: 2130"] I agree with this - mindset is so important! A friend of mine said something to me a couple of weeks before he was offered a TC which is ingrained in my mind. He said something like "wherever I end up, they will be so lucky to have me". My initial reaction (at the time) was wow this guy thinks highly of himself. Because I didn't feel the same way about my own skills and value, I couldn't relate. Fast forward 15 months, 30+ rejections and 1 TC offer, I now realise this is absolutely the confidence and faith that you need to have in yourself when going through this process (although make sure it doesn't border into arrogance!). I would try to keep improving your application writing skills/interview skills. Starting a company during a pandemic is a really interesting experience that I would really enjoy reading about! Make sure that you are proud when talking about that experience to ensure that your enthusiasm shines through. Then celebrate all of the small wins that you see! To help with mindset, I really recommend keeping an affirmation diary as it is a good way to reprogramme inner dialogue and banish self-doubt - which will likely enable you to keep going with a smile on your face :) I really think it is one of the key ingredients of a successful application.
