[QUOTE="anxiouslawyer, post: 97732, member: 11127"] I know it's hard to think of it this way right now, but having gotten onto a vac scheme itself is a fantastic achievement! It definitely means you are good enough to get a TC, it just happens that it wasn't this particular firm. Firms always recruit more vac schemers than they have places available, and unfortunately that means there will be people who don't convert their VS into a TC for whatever reason. But having a VS on your CV will make it much easier for you to land another VS or even a direct TC. I would also add on that being "noticeable" isn't always the best predictor of success on these things. Of course you should be engaged and take an interest in the firm, but some people just aren't the best when it comes to speaking in big groups but that doesn't mean they're not as capable or showing engagement in other ways. It's hard, but try not to compare yourself to your fellow vac schemers and focus on what you can do to address the feedback and bag it the next time around. [/QUOTE]
