Terribly disappointed in myself - first week of my first VS, trainee buddy gave me research work on GDPR indemnity etc., I really struggled to understand the context (I'm non-law) and the questions per se (despite that I've asked and reiterated the questions back to my Buddy two times), only after a full day of research did I realise everything I'd done was completely irrelevant, started all over again, didn't know how to use LexisNexis and where to look at in a case so spent more time with another trainee to learn doing that, ended up sending my Buddy a rather poorly written work literally the last minute, wow. I did mess up real hard - honestly frustrated.
Guess the TC is no more; this is a good learning process for me (I now know Article 82 and 83 really well
) but just extremely frustrated that I let her down.
I'm planning to work a little longer today just to review and update the note, and next week I'll catch up with her to ask for feedback and talk through my struggles - anyone other suggestions on how I can remedy/maximise learning from this train wreck?
