[QUOTE="Law2022, post: 38808, member: 5808"] I know how you feel, it is very difficult to stay positive after awhile. However, I think it is so important to take a short break from the application process and just learn to reflect on your accomplishments. Although the end goal is to get a TC- each experience, each rejection building up to that point is a learning curve! To stay motivated, I would make a list of where you are now compared to where you were at the beginning of your legal trajectory. Any law fair, open day, workshop, talk with a partner, online internship, competition etc is an accomplishment and has ultimately made you a better candidate. I always try to think that if I give up now, all of that would have been for nothing. You sound like a fantastic candidate, with a wealth of knowledge! Please don't think that you don't have impressive stuff to talk about, you sound much more impressive than I am. In terms of presenting your experiences- the STAR technique is great to provide concrete examples of skills you possess. Think of your next application as a clean slate and give it all the time you possibly can! Every rejection is a redirection. You will get there. [/QUOTE]
