[QUOTE="NMD, post: 44163, member: 1751"] Hey, the application process is definitely one that tests you and makes you feel like you aren’t good enough sometimes. So I can definitely sympathise with you regarding feeling low about it all. Rejection is also something that is really gruelling to deal with so just take a couple of days away from apps to give yourself a break! I’m also happy with the permission of [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] and the team, to read over one of your apps to see if I can offer any advice if it’s the application stage you’re struggling with. I’ve received great help from people on here over the years and elsewhere, so I firmly believe in paying that forward! I’m a future trainee now but I was definitely in the stick of it all not too long ago! You will get there. You don’t actually need loads of shiny things on your application, show a real interest in the firm and why you want to do law and that will be enough for a lot of places. Ways you could do that would be through online legal cheek events, contacting employees at the firm with tailored questions to network, doing online courses to improve your knowledge in particular areas etc! Good luck with everything and well done for reaching out, so many people will see this and go “ah I’m glad someone else is in the same boat” :) [/QUOTE]
