I could have sent more if I did not have family/work obligations. Of those applications, I managed to secure [B]3[/B] open days and [B]1[/B] vac scheme. I failed to convert the vac scheme into TC. Over the last [B]four years[/B], I have met loads of people who have been kind enough to offer me help regarding applications, WG etc. Despite that, [B]I did not pass a single WG test[/B]. I now work in retail and unsure whether I should continue applying given I have been advised to keep going. However, I believe many of those who have told me to keep applying are too polite to tell me the simple truth that I may not be cut out for a career in commercial law. [B]Given I just turned 27[/B], I would appreciate if someone could tell me [B]when it is time to pull the plug[/B]. I appreciate that varies from a person to person but I am sure some of you have encountered people in your lives who you knew they were not cut out for something from the get go.
