This is the truth, unfortunately. I am a GLC students and the less I speak about the manner in which placements happened and people with far less CV's got through and people who even fumbled with basic law questions got through. It is not in our hands.
Make sure you have drafted your CV well, have a look at the nujs format, because HRs don't see the content as they lack the brains, but they see the structure of the CV more. Also, try cold emailing people, atleast someone will reply. Also, those of your friends getting in through are getting through contacts, so forget about them, it will only stress you if you try to ponder on it. Also, make sure your basics are well done. Read contract, topa, company law properly and arb cpc (if disputes is your thing).
Try and write decent articles and publish them at reputed journals. Talk to people on linkedin. If you fail to get tier 1, try tier 2-3 internships, try Vaish Law , they will reply surely or firms like Bharucha, Samvad, Dhir and Dhir, etc. Don't lose hope, you will get what is your worth.
I just want a chance to prove that I am a perfect candidate but the HRs keep rejecting my application. This all makes me feel anxious about the future that I'll get unemployed because I have no contact and our college placement cell is a nightmare.
What should I do so that HR to just give me an opportunity of an interview so that I can prove myself?
