[QUOTE="legaldruid, post: 204973, member: 36359"] New update to keep myself accountable + hopefully this will give some motivation to my fellow international students: Total applications submitted: 21 Total applications rejected: 19 Applications that passed the first (application) stage: 5 Applications rejected at the second stage (SJT, WG, VI etc): 3 Applications that passed the second stage (SJT, WG, VI etc): 1 Waiting to hear back: 1 (post AC) Vacation Scheme offers: 1 Thoughts: I'm done with this cycle now. It was a tough couple of months managing full-time work with these applications but it paid off. My best advice would be to keep researching and learning how to improve. There's always something that you can work on, be it writing applications, practicing for tests or preparing for interviews. This platform is perfect for advice and seeking help so make the most of it. Besides that, don't put all your hopes into one category of firms like US for example. Try a different mix of categories (International, National, Regional etc) because you never know which category might appreciate your skills and talents. You've got something unique to offer and its on you to articulate it to best of your ability, but once you do, the firms will definitely respond positively. It might just be in a category that you did not expect! And as always, just keep pushing forward despite setbacks. You just need one chance to prove yourself! [/QUOTE]
