[QUOTE="TCtoothfairy, post: 249127, member: 32605"] Hey everyone! Sorry to dampen the mood but I'm just feeling so frustrated and need to write to get things off my chest.... Are there any graduates that have struggled to get vac schemes this year, because I feel like i'm going insane and that I am alone in this? I finished my LLB in June, getting a low 2:1 (mitigating circumstances) and went directly to a vac scheme. I fumbled getting a TC during my time there- everyone was shocked, including trainees, that I didn't get an offer. I decided I would absolutely funnel my energy into working part time and perfecting vac scheme applications... but I just seem to be getting nowhere. Not even paralegal roles are working ahhhhh :( It's coming up to March and I feel like how I was in June after graduating, facing the prospect of another year working as the most overqualified waitress in the entire company and I feel so defeated. I know the job market is messed up etc, but I just don't know what I am doing wrong to be getting to video interview stages and passing watson glaser tests, to be rejected months after applying to a firm on a random wednesday afternoon? Are any grads in a similar position- if so sending so much love. (Notyet)TCtoothfairy over and out xxx [/QUOTE]
