[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 46526, member: 4043"] Hi [USER=9228]@DJMG[/USER] I definitely sympathise with you- it is always tough during the initial waiting period to decide whether or not to send more applications off. Similarly to you I also sent 10 applications which I think is a nice base number, as although you want to increase your chances, you also don't want to be applying to firms you have no interest in merely for the sake of it. I think if you are confident in the applications you have sent, especially considering the fact you have yet to receive a rejection, then there is nothing wrong with you stopping there. In my case, out of the first 5 I sent off, I received 1 interview which was unfortunately unsuccessful. The rest were straight rejections. As you can imagine I was extremely disheartened. I remember feeling so anxious over the Christmas break because I was convinced that the applications I sent thereafter, would also be unsuccessful.
