Message: <blockquote data-quote="AMullin" data-source="post: 226057" data-attributes="member: 43063">Just a little update as I haven't posted on here for a while.Did a bit of soul searching yesterday after spending hours on an application for BCLP, which I was really happy with, only to mess something up on the online assessment which earned me a rejection without anyone actually reading my application. Had a long talk with the wife about whether I could keep pouring energy into this process alongside a difficult full time job and raising three young children without any indication that I have a chance of making it. I had all but decided to at least take a break from the process when I got an invite from Reed Smith for an online assessment and VI! As someone coming from an unconventional background with average at best academics, I cannot understate how uplifting it is to know that a human being has looked at what I have written and thought "Hmm, this could be the right candidate, lets find out some more about them." It is the smallest glimmer of hope but it is more than enough to keep me going. I still plan to scale it back a bit to avoid burnout and ensure I'm not neglecting family duties, but I must say this one small thing has reignited the fire in me and I know now that I can make it. Reed Smith is one of my Top 3 and I think that must have showed in the application so I think from now on I need to be more of a marksman than a shotgunner and spend what little time I have on firms I genuinely want to work at.Anyway, that was a bit of a ramble so I'll finish by saying: if you're feeling down or beat up in this process, keep going - you've got this!</blockquote>
