[QUOTE="SK2021.22, post: 97416, member: 17931"] I am a career changer. I worked extremely hard since September to get a place on a VS. I know that's not a lot of time - some people apply for several years before they get a VS. But I did get a VS and I did my absolute best to ensure I shine. I read up more about the firm history than I know about my own family history. Since I am a career changer, I had to start from scratch about how the legal recruitment process works and the strategy to succeed. I invested a lot of time, effort and emotion into this - and balanced it along with my work (which means working through the night). However, I failed to convert my VS to a TC. I got some wishy-washy feedback which wasn't convincing at all. TCs were offered to some participants that said exactly one sentence through the entire VS, asked no questions and were honestly unnoticeable. I have a strong feeling it could be because I need visa sponsorship and with Omicron tearing through the UK, budgetary constraints would incentivize them to choose a British national instead of someone on whom they need to spend 5000 pounds just to onboard. I don't want to sound like a sore loser but I genuinely cannot believe I was that bad, especially since I've been in the workforce for many years and can objectively assess my performance to a decent degree. It has completely destroyed my motivation. I have a work deliverable by tomorrow and cannot focus. Help! [/QUOTE]
