I have started doing applications for a role as Trainee Wills and Probate Paralegal
I have started a week ago and no answer plus waiting for two exam results
It is very hard to keep on going and to believe in yourself in this current climate given the loneliness and isolation

Good luck
Just hang in there Roukaya. This current situation is nearly over. There will be a vaccine coming soon, and one of the benefits of being over fifty is you will jump the queue!
You have come a long way since the start of this pandemic. Exams are over, job applications in, your future is looking a lot rosier.
In the meantime, focus on the next steps. Your next hurdle will, hopefully be interviews. Try to predict the questions and prepare your answers. I don’t know if they still ask it, but one of the stingers at the end was “Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?” ( You might want to think on that one. I wouldn’t say you intend to start your own business -that is just unwanted competition for them!) Also, there is nearly the “Is there anything you would like to ask us?” When I sat on interview panels, there were always some who thought the candidate was not a “serious applicant” if they didn’t ask a question.
You could always use an interview as an excuse to buy a new outfit (or two !)
Also, keep an eye on other firms recruiting and keep pushing the applications. That way, if you get a rejection, there are always other irons in the fire.
But most of all, be proud of yourself. You are achieving your dream.
Good Afternoon
I hope you are well
I hope the issue of your daughter’s tenant is being resolved
I think for me is the mental tiredness and coping with the Pandemic alone
I am unable to visit until the results are known
As they are based for those working in Practice , I should be prepared the result can go either way , that is why it is essential I start finding employment in this area
The day I obtain the License as a Probate Practitioner is the day I have achieved the dream
Thank you for your reply
It’s difficult to be patient when you are waiting for results, good luck with them. If you started writing last week, it would be a bit early I think to get any replies back just yet and you have the added obstruction of Covid delaying some matters. It’s a waiting game, keep applying that is very important. Maybe follow up with a phone call in a couple of weeks. 👍😊🌸
Good Afternoon
I hope you are well
Thanks for reply
I seem to be a little tired these days and I expect it is the worry and being alone
I will know once and for all at the end of October and then I will know if there is a resit
In any event , I should keep plugging away as I am applying for a specialist area and I should learn to realise that I am following a road less travelled in this current Pandemic
I hope you are well and thanks for reply
One step at a time Roukaya. Thinking of all your problems at one time is a certain recipe for gloom and discontent.
This is a desperately uncertain time for placements and jobs, and a week is no time at all. It's always really frustrating at the best of times, and lack of results can cause low mood and a feeling of low worth. Most job hunters go through this.
The advice given to job searchers by Jobcentres is to treat the hunt for work as a job! Benefits claimants need to show that they are spending 35 hours a week in applying, which is the average number of hours in a working week.
It's best to fire off as many applications as you can, without waiting for results. Leave no stone unturned.
But I think I'd wait until your results come in before making your search too forensic. You need to know that you have the results you have worked so hard for.
A happier life is always easier for those people who are able to adapt to unfavourable circumstances.
I hope you achieve the results you are longing for and for which you have worked so hard.
Good Afternoon
I hope you are well
Thank you for your reply
I think the answer is to keep applying even though I hardly get any reply
I am a little tired as I miss Mum for Christmas and I should learn to take and accept as it comes
I already have legal qualifications but these were gained in 2000
I looking for a legal placement in this area to help me to pass as these are industry based exams
I hope you and your family are keeping well
Good luck with your exam results . You have come so far and to actually sit exams like this must have taken determination . My son has just returned from a year working in USA . He is job hunting and every application takes hour and hours then you can get a 2 sentence rejection if you are lucky enough to get a reply . Keep going though as I feel you will be telling us some good news soon .
Thank you for your kind words
I wish your son great success in his job applications
I am concerned with one of the papers I took and quite accepting of there is a resit
Given the current Covid climate , best to take one step at a time
Wondering if you might benefit from some phone counseling? During these uncertain times, all forms of support can be valuable. I like to start each day jotting down some things I'm grateful for in a gratitude journal. Have you ever tried this?
Love that you do that!
I do to!
Simple things like having hot water ,medical care ,stars at night when pain bad and can't sleep etc etc.
Before you know it you will have lots of small things to be grateful for.
Roukaya you have come so far.
You can do this!
Theme you for your reply
I have had counselling before and I know that may be an extra form of support would be helpful
I will look into this
Thank you and I hope you are well
I was amazed by the price of counselling which may be expensive if you have exams / studies to pay for . Maybe a coffee out with friends that really know you ?
If I had a friend , I would go out for a coffee
No friend , no coffee
Maybe apply for a range of part time jobs as most of my friends I met through work .
I am feeling a little tired
I will continue with the job applications once I am better
I hope you are well
Understandably tired as you are putting in the effort . A few days relaxation can work wonders . Yes - I am OK but just wish I had enough money to retire .
Hi R, you are doing so well, I’m hoping that you are getting out and about? Make the effort to get to your local cafe and smile 😊, read a book/ mag !
You are a great girl-any howlers yet!😊💕🌈🎶😉
Good Afternoon
I hope you are well
I have feeling a little tired

When I think of something funny I will let you know
