I graduated from a Russell Group university in 2022. Since my 2nd year of university (4 years ago now), I have sent about 60 applications for open days (15), vac schemes (25) and TCs (20). I could have sent more if I did not have family/work obligations. Of those applications, I managed to secure 3 open days and 1 vac scheme. I failed to convert the vac scheme into TC. Over the last four years, I have met loads of people who have been kind enough to offer me help regarding applications, WG etc. Despite that, I did not pass a single WG test. I now work in retail and unsure whether I should continue applying given I have been advised to keep going. However, I believe many of those who have told me to keep applying are too polite to tell me the simple truth that I may not be cut out for a career in commercial law. Given I just turned 27, I would appreciate if someone could tell me when it is time to pull the plug. I appreciate that varies from a person to person but I am sure some of you have encountered people in your lives who you knew they were not cut out for something from the get go. Thanks in advance for your advice.
