[QUOTE="enjcorps, post: 94625, member: 17457"] No, firms like Shearman & Stirling I don't bother. I only apply to firms that don't place that much emphasis on A-levels or have no A-level requirement. I think it's something in how I'm writing my applications -- maybe I'm not saying enough or I'm saying the wrong thing? I do try to stick to the question that's being asked of me, like if I am asked 'why do you want to work for ____' I'll try research the firm, their values and initiatives, things about the firm that really resonate with me or that I can speak about to show why I'd be a good fit there, stuff like that and really just try to apply and tailor myself but I guess I'm going about this wrong? I dunno, I'm just kind of confused because it's like many people say as far as how it's like a game of luck and you just have to keep trying and trying until hopefully something sticks. But one thing I have realised now is it's not [I]what [/I]my experiences are but how I word them, so I think it's not even the fact that I have a lack of relevant experience but more so that I'm just not selling myself right?
