[QUOTE="mfuturetrainee, post: 168512, member: 16131"] a lesson that ive learned now being in my 2nd cycle is that for me personally, motivation is not a factor when youre kind of approaching the end of the recuitment cycle, I think I try to be disciplined and think about the long term goal when shooting off applications even if I feel like I dont want to. I think the best thing you can do for yourself if youre waiting to hear back for outcomes is actively work and include prep throughout your routine (as if you were tackling a tutorial or a seminar) because you want to think the best outcome for yourself and the way you can do that is preparing for those interviews and ACs. that way, there can be a sense of motivation because youre actively working towards your goal and not down in the trenches thinking the worst possible outcome as far as post AC rejection goes, I always take time out for myself whatever way it be. for me, I like to reset my space, go out with friends kind of detach for a few days which allows me to put things into perspective and remind myself that there is a reason why it didn't work out that I may not know now, but when im a hot shot lawyer working in my dream office, ill look back and realise why I got rejected, whether it be for growth, to come back as a stronger candidate, etc. someone on this forum actually jus got a TC and the mentality she had that I really reflected on was 'imagine how good it'll feel when that firm that rejected you tries to laterally hire you' and I loved thinking about it that way as well🤣 motivation will fizz out, we're humans, and when that fizzes out, remember of your long term goal and be disciplined in the tasks that you do (: [/QUOTE]
