@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica,
I hope you are well. I took your advice and applied to another law firm open day (US finance heavy) this was cv only and therefore I made sure I put my previous open day events. I have work experience in a silver circle law firm(albeit one day) a two day insight scheme at a U.S firm, and my retail jobs, debating teacher, and refugee tutor- alongside my extracurriculars. I also wrote a short (300word cover letter) in the email expressing my interest.
Unfortunately I was rejected again. I’m super disappointed in myself and am at a loss tbh. This was the email
It will come as no surprise to you to learn that the open day has proven to be popular and unfortunately, on this occasion, we have been unable to allocate you a place.
Thank you for your interest in pursuing a career at xxxxx xxxx and please do keep an eye on our vacation scheme applications, opening December 1, 2024.
I am applying to other firms and have shortlisted 20, I also felt quite confident in myself as a candidate and therefore I have been somewhat ambitious, but realistic with my choices. What would be your advice be to me?
