What to do after a vacation scheme or training contract rejection

Join Dr Laura Dean for a practical session on how to process an unsuccessful result, regain perspective and work out what to do next.

Not getting a vacation scheme or training contract can feel deeply personal, especially when so much of your identity is tied to your career goals. In a competitive legal market, it is easy to see one outcome as a verdict on your future, rather than one result in a much wider process.

This session will help you understand why these setbacks can hit so hard, how to reframe the result more clearly and how to decide what your next best step should be. You will also hear how to protect your confidence, avoid spiralling and choose the right next stage in the week based on where you need support most.

You will leave with a steadier mindset, clearer perspective and a stronger sense of where to focus next.

Don’t miss this opportunity to reset and move forward with confidence.
