[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 176227, member: 30937"] I totally understand the frustration and I am sorry this has been your experience. Your academic as well as professional experience is extremely impressive and I am sure you will find the perfect fit in terms of law firms very soon. Unfortunately, the process is extremely difficult and competitive, and I feel like this application cycle was very competitive so you should be very proud of yourself for even being able to apply and get multiple assessment centres. There are many people with your same credentials, some of whom I know personally, who were unable to secure a single interview. I think that the most important thing for you to focus on is the fact that you are passing the application stages and the various tests before interview invites, which is an amazing thing! It means that you are almost there in terms of being prepared to secure a vacation scheme offer. Now, it is just a matter of understanding how you can best prepare for your next interviews. I think that for the next application cycle, your focus should start preparing early for interviews and make sure that your preparation fits the assessment of each firm you are interested in. Additionally, whenever you get an interview or an assessment centre invite, make sure to connect with people that have been successful with the process, so mainly future trainees or trainees. They will be your best source of information and tips when it comes to tackling these. Moreover, I shared a couple of tips on how to deal with rejections which you can find here: [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-direct-training-contract-applications-discussion-thread-2023-4.8038/post-170058[/URL] I hope this is useful and good luck on your journey, I am sure you will secure the vacation scheme you are striving for very soon as you have and still are working really hard!
