I have been applying for legal jobs for the past couple of weeks after being disheartened by receiving no reply from a firm that have given me an interview for my first potential job. Sadly, it has so far been unfruitful.
HOWEVER. This morning, after checking my emails, I received an email from the firm that had given me the interview. I could not believe it. Since it was quite early in the morning, I thought it was my tired mind playing tricks on me. I rubbed my eyes, calmed down, then read the email again, checking the email account, the sending details and the date. It's true - the firm really did email me back (after over a month since the interview - I thought they had forgotten about my application).
The email, sent last night, was to offer me an internship position at their law firm. My very first position at a law firm.
Feeling the excitement welling up inside me, I forwarded the email to my hubby to share the good news.
I have just sent a reply back to the firm and now I just have to wait for (hopefully) good news. FINGERS CROSSED!!
The next step will be to nail this internship so that I can land a (more) permanent position at the firm.
Look out world! Here I come!!
PS: lesson of the day: Always keep your hopes up, you never know when they'll be answered :)
