[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 96806, member: 17155"] Would 100% recommend taking some time out to reflect on the experiences you [I]do have[/I]- what were your learnings, successes, failures? How did you rebuild after a setback? When did you go out of your way to execute a task? When did you prioritise the needs of your team? Doing this will help you demonstrate to a firm that you understand what it takes to be a solicitor in commercial law and that you embody the qualities, skills and values that their firm espouses. You don't need legal work experience to demonstrate this, especially if you're applying for vacation schemes and not direct TCs. Reflect on your experiences of volunteering, working in a part-time job, helping out at your uni societies, challenging yourself at a hobby of your interest etc. By reflecting and presenting your thought process in this manner, you will be able to present your existing experiences in a more considered, resounding way, which will help you make stronger applications even without adding 'new' experiences in the new year.
