[QUOTE="f.2000, post: 38727, member: 8140"] Hi everyone, I don't meant to bring everyone down with me but recently I've been feeling pretty hopeless :( I've applied to well over 20-30 vac schemes over the last year, and I keep facing rejection after rejection. I know it's simply a part of the process and everyone goes through it, but I keep feeling like I just won't get anything. I've tried to build up my experiences over summer by starting my own company and last year I was a part of a committee for a decently large society. Work experience wise, I had two weeks of informal shadowing at DWF and I worked as a hospitality waiter over the last year. Apart from that I haven't really got a whole lot - I feel like everyone else applying just has so much more impressive stuff to talk about. I tried to secure some type of remote internships over the summer and didn't get anything. I just don't know where I'm lacking and what I can do in the short time available to me to improve. Sorry for this rant, I just feel a bit down about this whole thing. How do you guys stay motivated after rejections? [/QUOTE]
