As someone who now works quite closely with graduate recruitment, they definitely do want applicants to succeed!I’m sorry to hear about the Macfarlanes PFO - they always sting a bit, especially when you are feeling particularly motivated or optimistic. However, it is brilliant that the HFW application has given you a clearer idea of what you actually want in a firm. That shift from “I want to be a commercial lawyer” to “I can actually see myself here” is a huge step and will make your future applications so much more tailored and stronger.Try not to beat yourself up about earlier applications feeling generic. Everyone has that moment where things click and they realise their writing style and what a good application really looks like - I know my first round of applications were not great! What matters is exactly what you are doing now - learning from it, and remaining optimistic for future applications.You’ve got this - keep going, and good luck with HFW! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
