[QUOTE="ReedSmithBecca, post: 148966, member: 30879"] Firstly, I wanted to say that we really value career changers and the wide range of skills and experiences they bring! Our current and future trainees includes those who have transitioned from sectors as varied as finance, journalism and teaching. One of the things I’d recommend to anyone is to use the application stage to really demonstrate that you have researched the firm you are applying to in particular, rather than just law in general. This shows that you’ve taken the time to really consider where would fit you best. Legal events, like the ones TCLA and others such as All About Law, Law Careers.net and Legal Cheek run are also a great legal CV builder and can demonstrate you’ve invested time in researching the sector as a career changer. Finally, really consider the skills and strengths you’ve gained from your previous career and describe how they would be an asset as a trainee. [/QUOTE]
