[QUOTE="Laurence, post: 12520, member: 2706"] Hi Jessica. Im an incoming LPC student and have never done a vac scheme before, nor worked in a large commercial firm. I've only worked in small high-street firms with no commercial practice and medium-sized commercial firms but the quality of work I had wasn't great. My question is given that I've never been exposed to a commercial setting as the ones im applying for, how can I convince the recruiter that I am a good fit for a vac scheme/training contract at the particular firm? How can I bridge the gap between my previous high-street experience with a large commercial firm? Moreover, as a recent graduate with some legal work experiences, I don't have any noteworthy results/achievements to highlight to date. How would you suggest I Show im an excellent candidate, considering, on paper, im more of a "doer" rather than an "achiever"? It is also worth noting I didn't have great a-levels, didn't win prizes so I have no academic excellence to show off. Would you advise against applying to magic/silver circle/us firms considering I wouldn't meet their minimum requirements? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
