[QUOTE="AgentNilPois, post: 12761, member: 2143"] Hi Jessica, I have A* A D at Alevel, 2:1 from Non-Russell Group (ex-poly), and have a decent amount of legal work experience both commercial and non-commercial. I am worried about my ambitions of wanting to join a City firm, particularly US firms, because of my A-level grades. I like the work US firms do, often complicated, finance-heavy and international in scope. I believe I have a strong mitigating circumstance for not achieving well on the module which I obtained a D for - I had no formal teaching as my school couldn’t find a replacement teacher once they took maternity when that A-level started. That said, I came out as the highest overall achiever in my year at my sixth form obtaining one of the best set of grades for my year on completion. Not to mention the subject area I got a D in I achieved a first class mark for on a similar module at university. What are your thoughts about this? I am absolutely keen on obtaining a training contract with US firm (if I can). Also, what are your thoughts on showing confidence at assessment centres (if you struggle with anxiety). How would you suggest overcoming the fear of working in groups and communicating with people (that said I am a fee-earner at present and have no trouble communicating with clients or colleagues, just in large group assessments like those during ACs induce my anxiety badly)?
