[QUOTE="hopefullylaw2000, post: 95345, member: 9072"] Hi Anita! I completely understand how youre feeling as I was in a similar situation this summer having been rejected post-vac scheme from my dream firm! The first thing I did was spend 2-3 days in bed/moping and surrounding myself with my family and friends, when I spoke to them about what I was going through, they were able to be there and support me throughout all my mood swings!! Secondly, I reached out to graduate recruitment (I had an assigned person) and asked for her notes on my feedback so I could digest them better. My feedback was similar to yours in that I didn't perform as well as they would have liked in my final interview. However, going forward this has helped tremendously as I realised in that interview, me not being able to explain some key things about legal principles was a massive learning curve that I needed to overcome. Additionally, grad rec also were able to tell me where I was strongest throughout the vac scheme. From what you have said (about it being your final TC interview) I get that it is extremely difficult to bounce back from, especially if on the actual scheme you performed really well! Going forward, I would recommend you take some time out to reflect on the vac scheme, what you learnt from it and how you feel you can use it to go forwards! Also, I realised that there was a specific bit of law I 100% wanted to be able to explore in my training contract, and that has 100% benefited my applications and where I focus my attention on going forward! Also congrats on getting to the scheme in the first place!! They're extremely difficult to get onto and this will reflect really positively on you going forward! If you want to talk about it / talk through any thing please feel free to message me:) [/QUOTE]
