[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 231829, member: 43563"] Sorry to hear this, and you’re right the process is exhausting. There’s definitely a lot of mental hurdles to jump through before you start your TC, whether that’s applications, assessments, SQE exams - it’s a career choice that requires a lot of investment - but It’s only going to be made worse by placing more pressure on yourself to secure one sooner now that you’ve graduated. I know you’ve probably heard it before but there is no set age or time to secure a TC. I’ll be starting mine at 28 and honestly, I’m happier for it. I got the chance to experience so many careers (relevant) but exciting nonetheless that have since shaped what I actually want to do post qualification. So the added time, you never know, it may actually work in your favour as you move through your seats in comparison to those with limited experience. Dont give up! If you feel like the VIs are bringing you down and you’ve practised for them as much you can, perhaps this cycle has just seen a lot more improvement for everyone. So it’s not something lacking in you but rather it being so close again. [/QUOTE]
