[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 119866, member: 2672"] For many firms, they wouldn’t take on a non-law applicant for a vacation scheme until their final year anyway, so I feel like you are still at the early stages of considering this career path. I would apply for vacation schemes to those firms you are eligible for, and apply to direct TCs with firms you can’t do a vacation scheme with. You’d have to check the policy of each firm too - some firms will only allow you to apply once in a recruitment cycle, and so this may influence whether you choose to apply for a vacation scheme or training contract later on in the cycle. I sense that you are still trying to work out what type of law firm might suit you and therefore which to apply to. This might be what you want to focus your efforts on in the next few months - I’d encourage you to attend more events/seminars/careers fairs to really navigate finding out more about firms and the industry to help you work out which firms you want to apply to and also how many applications you want to make.
