Message: <blockquote data-quote="NatashaS98" data-source="post: 139316" data-attributes="member: 25015">Hi [USER=16453]@yzyzyz[/USER]Thank you for sharing this – it take courage to be open about what you’re going through.What you're feeling is normal and very common too – I have also been there myself and I know how difficult it can be to get rid of that critical voice inside your head.Take people’s AC and VS posts with a pinch of salt – people are always more willing to share their success stories and are less likely to put their rejections up. The reason why most people share their successes tends to be because these successes have come after many knocks (but these knocks are ones that you don’t see online). Success stories skew the picture of how many people receive rejections - given how competitive the application process is, it is more statistically likely for people to have got a rejection for a particular firm than to have got through to the next stage.It sounds like you have been working very hard over these last 2 application cycles and as you recognise, you have already made so much progress. Getting 2 ACs is an incredible feat and highlights that you really have what it takes to be a great trainee solicitor. Although I know it can be disheartening when ACs don’t go as well as you would have wished, I found it very helpful personally to record straight after the AC where I felt went wrong, so that I can work towards improving my performance.I also would say that it’s so important to realise your worth and how good you are. Whilst we can so often focus on the negative, we forget to focus on what make us unique and great. I would not see the application process as not a test of your intelligence either – it is definitely more a combination of time and perseverance. I completely empathise with the feeling that getting a TC can feel far off, but I really want to emphasise that getting a VS and TC is a question of when, not if - just keep going and you will get there.After these 2 ACs, my advice to you would to take some time off and completely forget about law and applications. Try and do those things that make you happy – see friends, eat some delicious food and then you can come back to applications feeling recharged and in turn, more productive.I promise you, you’ve got this – wishing you all the best, we are all behind you.</blockquote>
