[QUOTE="Jen E C, post: 44199, member: 485"] They say its always darkest before the dawn and in my experience it was definitely the case. I had reached the point right before I got my TC where I was tired of the rejection and thought I should take the hint that the career just isn't for me. However, as I was deciding if I wanted to give another cycle a shot, I finally took my own advice in regards to viewing rejection. I realised that you're never just starting over. You're starting over [I]with experience[/I], which changes the game entirely. To echo the above, don't understate your experiences. I didn't have any committee positions or start a business or win any academic awards, I think what made me 'special' (to use your words) was understanding my motivations for commercial law and the firm and therefore being able to articulate them convincingly. Have faith in yourself, keep pushing, but take care of yourself above all else. [/QUOTE]
