Back with an update on my progress! Thank you for the advice [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] and [USER=17155]@AvniD[/USER]! I do get Jaysen's point regarding prioritising my time to draft applications first. I started my new job yesterday, so I will have to be as efficient as possible with my time. As for a quick update on my progress from last week:


- I completed the 'Write Law Firm Applications that lead to interviews' course and it was really helpful. I feel a bit more confident now drafting my answers for vac scheme applications!

- I completed one of my Forage internships, was unable to complete the other one.

- I have started to draft answers for Bakers and Travers Smith, and planning to hone out the answers and submit by the end of this week.


My goals for the remaining week are as follows:


- Finish off the two written applications I have started

- Start practicing for VIs using TCLA's question bank and other resources on here. I would really like to record myself and practice answering questions because last cycle I would not be as confident and as a result fumble a lot while answering the one sided questions. Hopefully I can do better this time around!

- Complete at least 50% of the 'Develop your commercial awareness: how to think commercially' course.


Hope everybody is having a lovely week! I'll be back with another update at the end of this week :)
