I literally cant get past the first stage and this year i just want to be successful. Last year i applied for 10 firms, got 10 rejections and just thought law isnt for me. This year, i have a few firms in mind that I will be applying for and hoping for the best.The game plan:applications for CMS and Irwin Mitchell done by November 1stWG practice weeklytaking my commercial awareness SERIOUSLY- so i will be trying to listen to podcasts on my way to work or in the gym. I have also subscribed to Watson's daily (to the lovely human being from TCLA who told me about this, i hope your pillow is cold on both sides for the rest of your life- you are amazing).Other firms of interest are:Browne Jacobson, K&L Gates, Shoosmiths, Howard Kennedy If anyone has any tips on any of these firms or application process' please help a gal out!I'll update on my process weekly and lets all hope that this year is my year. I'm losing alot of faith in myself and Im not sure how many more rejections i can handle <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> alas, diamonds are made under pressure so lets see if this year a diamond forms as a result of my immense stress (diamond being a TC offer pleaseee)!</blockquote>
