[QUOTE="Legalstalker, post: 173220, member: 31343"] Thank you! I’m happy it’s motivated you to keep going, we’re all in this together for sure. I use excel to creat an application tracker and categorised it into, Name, Job, London. NQ salary, Applied and the process I’ve undergone. I also colour code: Yellow = applied/still in the running Blue = Pending (not applied yet) Peach = Withdrew, didn’t complete test/interview Red = Rejected (I have my rejections on another page to my current apps as It’s bad vibes lookimg at those all the time lmao) it‘s soo much easier for me to acknowledge how I’ve progressed with an application if I can see it in this format and it allows me to be more grateful. If another person messaged me more information such as when I applied to a firm I can also answer as I have the dates handy. In terms of Research i’d say mines was very bad I didn’t do as much as I should’ve into it as I was just throwing apps out at the start. However my research for interviews I use chambers student, chambers and partners, legal cheek, firms LinkedIn and any early career social Medias they have (HFW have a good one). I find it easier to research if I know what I’m looking for. There are specifics I would like a firm to offer/have and I’d check they have them and how they implemet those things e.g. international secondment, diversity and trainee seat allocation. I like firms that don’t have a mandatory seat requirement as it allows me to explore more especially if they do 4x6 structure (But I’d always pick at least 2 in the firms key sectors). I really do live by Ziplaw for trends and cases in the legal/commercial world. Legal cheek is also great as they do posts about firm retention, trainee views etc. If I were to restart my cycle all over again with the knowledge I have now I feel like I would’ve passed more applications and would’ve applied to more US firms. But as it’s my first cycle I was hesitant to do that. Once again I‘m waffling 😅 I swear anyone that messages me instantly regrets it as I just send paragraphs I can’t stop typing haha Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
