[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 200996, member: 36740"] Hi there and welcome to the TCLA forum! Contrary to the silence you’ve been hearing from firms, I want to stress that this is [B]not[/B] the end of the road for you. It’s easy to feel that way, especially given how challenging the process can be, but I would really like you to remove that from your vocab. To put things into context, there are many reasons why you may have not heard back - processing timelines, operational reasons, and so on. Ease up, take a deep breath, and refine your strategy. In fact, take a moment to yourself when you need to. This will enable you to come back stronger. Just to put it out there, the most important quality (in my opinion!) a candidate needs to have in this process is not what you would typically think. It’s not commercial awareness, it’s not adaptability or intellectual curiosity - it’s resilience. Resilience will enable you to even build on those named skills. It’s a hard skill to build for sure - something I’m still constantly trying to build on a daily. But the most important factor to it is the willingness to keep going, and the realisation that you need to take breaks for yourself as and when is needed. Best of luck! And I have no doubt you’ll do great. Please lean on this community for support as much as you need - whether technical or emotional, we’re here! [/QUOTE]
