[QUOTE="LegallyBrown, post: 145210, member: 29628"] Dear Reader, So..... these past few weeks have not been as productive as I would have preferred. However, I am not punishing myself. In the midst of work, studying, and exams - I needed a digital detox (so I took a nice long break to relax and maintain some sanity). Although I did miss quite a few TC deadlines for a few firms I had chosen (following a wider pool of choices). They were simply reserves, so that I could feel some sort of accomplishment knowing I applied. However realistically, I was not expecting to get anywhere with them - as they only took like 5-10 trainees a year. This is not me saying I do not believe in applying to firms that only take 5 trainees, but simply that the competition may be fiercer, depending on other factors of course. I simply feel more comfortable applying to firms with a higher amount of TC's. So all in all, I am not beating myself up about this slight oversight in the deadlines. In terms of positives, I did manage to submit an application for NRF. I can say I tried my best with the application, however I am slightly wary of this one. Although they take into account mitigating circumstances, it is the first time I have seen an application allocate a tick box to whether or not you meet the minimum A-Level criteria (ABB). I hope it will not be a case of filtering candidates out on the ATS by simply using this question. Aside from this, I have been asked to join a client meeting in France later this week, alongside a small team of associates/trainees. Although this is definitely an experience I do not want to miss, I will most likely spend my weekend holed up in my hotel room focusing on the upcoming White & Case training contract application (which I believe is not on a rolling basis). Darn those two weeks spent relaxing. However, it is what it is. I am sure I will feel better knowing I tried my best at this application as opposed to rushing it once I return. See you at the next post. Regards, LegallyBrown [/QUOTE]
