[QUOTE="BeanaGoalGetter, post: 247102, member: 43385"] Throughout this application process (not just for VS/TC, but for jobs in general) I've learnt how essential confidence really is. Confidence to believe you deserve the opportunity. Confidence in what you could bring to the role. Confidence to articulate yourself clearly and unapologetically. Some people grow up with that confidence instilled from a young age, and others have to learn it along the way. Often it isn’t the most qualified or the most eager person who gets the role - it’s the person who shows up with the confidence and audacity to take up space - the person who recognises their worth. If you’re struggling with this, you’re definitely not alone. I’m learning to feel proud about how far I’ve come in terms of my confidence, and to acknowledge the resilience it takes to keep improving and refusing to give up despite the rejection. But just like any other skill, confidence can be built. I recently received a rejection email after my first paralegalling interview with a big firm. I still need to ask for feedback, but I have a feeling my confidence played a part - which is what inspired this little think piece 😅😂 [/QUOTE]
