[QUOTE="Archie, post: 228957, member: 36824"] Yes, absolutely! These reports are designed to highlight an 'opportunity for improvement' to help you build the skills needed in law and strengthen you as a candidate and future lawyer (because, hey, none of us are perfect)! Be super proud of the strengths the report highlighted, and reflect on times in your life you've demonstrated these strengths and how you could leverage them again at a law firm. You can then use these examples in future applications and/or interviews throughout your legal career. I would suggest seeing the 'opportunity for development' as something also to reflect on, consider when you have demonstrated this in your life and how you can go about leaning into that more. That way you become an even more well-rounded candidate/lawyer. So much in any career is responding to constructive feedback, and seeing it as an opportunity to continually improve. They're not weaknesses, you're just stronger in the other areas! Remember, though, these reports will always highlight strengths and and opportunity for improvement. As far as I'm aware, they will never tell you there's no opportunities to improve! [/QUOTE]
