[QUOTE="Raven_111, post: 126365, member: 26625"] Background: Recently it dawned on me that I may never get a TC or a VS, whilst my a-levels were not the best I managed to secure a 2:1 at a Non-Russel group uni. Now I'm currently doing the LPC (Self-funded) however after receiving my first rejection of VS cycles (Second year doing it) putting time and effort into my application and getting it checked for mistakes by the uni I feel somewhat depressed. I have little to no law-based work experience, I work in CAB as a volunteer receptionist with hopes to be promoted to an advisor, I have also done an online virtual VS however this kind of feels cheap to say as I can't secure a 'real' VS and that's really it, I managed to secure a place in my uni for judicial shadowing for a day however this takes place in a couple of months and I'm not sure what will come from that. Besides this, I have been constantly applying for a TC and VS since last year, yet I'm receiving rejections left right and centre, every time I think about applying I feel like I'll already be rejected. I've been constantly thinking about it so much and it really makes me feel uneasy, and seeing others excel in my cohort knowing that most of them have a TC and I don't is disheartening. I have no idea where I'm going wrong, I tried to forget about it and focus on myself but I end up thinking about it again. I decided to take the paralegal route after all this however even then it feels like I'm fighting to get a job. I would really like some advice or help in terms of what I should do, what kind of mindset I should be in and what I can do to overcome this feeling. [/QUOTE]
