Applied for a job, & the recruiter followed up with me saying they really like my book & wanted the password for the protected work. Gave it to them, & havenโ€™t heard anything in a month. (Cont)

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
