[QUOTE="Legalese, post: 1507, member: 244"] Hello - sorry all I have edited my post as after taking away successful applications (for interviews I didn't go to or tests I didn't do and the two vac schemes I did actually get) I realistically did circa 22 applications. I think the biggest change was just getting into a positive mindset before my AC and having a break from law for weeks at a time (if this is possible for you then I recommend it). I also had to remember that across the table from me, was a partner, who was interviewing me. And, you really have to think about what this means. They own the business and you are having to sell yourself as a potential asset to that business, because the only capital in a law firm is its employees. I know that probably is stating the obvious but if I were to step in their shoes I know what kind of person I would want to interview and who would and would not inspire confidence. [/QUOTE]
