[QUOTE="Alison C, post: 68544, member: 3943"] Hi [USER=5736]@astra3127[/USER] I don't have sage words either except that you are doing really well getting as far as you have. I wonder if you need to consider re-applying to some of your near misses too? It's really important to separate out 'they don't like me' from 'they don't like my answers'. The first one can be true of people/your relationships, and we all have to work with people we might not choose to. But the second one is what you are working towards conquering. It's your behaviour, your thinking, and what emerges from your mouth in an interview/AC - as well as what doesn't. My mum was American and there are some really vast cultural differences, which are all the more difficult to get your head around because there isn't a noticeable language barrier. Some of them will be helpful - you might have a dry sense of humour, an ebullient 'have a good day' mentality and a love of anything over 200 years old; you might not. Tailoring what you present to a future employer is something that you seem to be having some success in, even if it is exhausting. But celebrating difference is part of a truly diverse and inclusive workplace. If you aren't already a premium member of TCLA you might want to consider that - even if it's only for a few months. If you are getting interviews then you have the grades - and the ancillaries. It is a process of attrition but it's also about finding a good fit. The most important thing at the moment is the LPC - so try to enjoy it? Fingers crossed for you. [/QUOTE]
