Rejections don’t mean you’re standing still, they’re part of the refinement.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Understand what a commercial lawyer actually does It’s easy to fall into the Suits trap, but the reality is very different. Commercial lawyers are trusted advisers who help clients navigate complex legal and commercial issues, whether transactional or contentious. Being clear on that role and showing you understand it matters more than people realise.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Have real confidence in yourself and your ability I found that even when I was well prepared, self-doubt could undermine my performance, particularly at assessment centres. Once I trusted my preparation and calmed my nerves, I was able to perform at the level I was genuinely capable of.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reframe rejection Rejection isn’t just something to get past,  it’s part of the process that sharpens you. Each “no” builds resilience, judgment, and perspective.</li> </ul>Rejection is fundamental to progress. All the best TCLA forum with applications and have a wonderful winter break!</blockquote>
