[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 122989, member: 1"] Hi [USER=25422]@Mohamed Ashour[/USER], Really impressed to see how much clearer your goals are. With regard to writing more applications, that is my general view - given how competitive this process is, it makes sense to write as many applications as you can to the firms you are interested in. Quality comes from quantity here: the more applications you write, the better you will learn how to communicate your motivations and sell your experiences. It's also a result of the competitiveness of the process. As much as it sounds logical to focus on a few quality applications, it's also true that applicants will be rejected by most law firms they apply to. By writing more applications, you increase your chances of receiving that one offer. I agree with your latest approach to avoid working through the courses all at once - there are often diminishing returns to consuming more content, when your time could be better spent writing applications. My view would be to focus the vast majority of your time on your applications. You can then skim through the courses as and when it's useful to you. Finally, regarding connecting your experiences to the law firms you are applying to, I think this will become more obvious in time as you work on your motivations and the differences between law firms. As you research a law firm, think about why you are drawn to that particular firm. [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/struggling-to-differentiate-between-firms.1332/']This[/URL] is a great thread for further ideas. At the moment, those experiences you mention are very broad and could lead you to be interested in any law firm. Based on your experiences, consider what you are looking for in a firm - a more entrepreneurial environment? A particular specialism? A firm that takes diversity seriously in its recruitment?
