[QUOTE="tanja12, post: 192976, member: 38673"] Hi, I hope you’re well. I’m reaching out for some guidance as I prepare to start my LLM + SQE1 at BPP in January. If everything goes according to plan, I’ll be ready to take the SQE1 in January 2026. I've been applying for several training contracts through City Firms, but I’m currently facing a series of rejections, which has been quite challenging. I’m curious about what firms are looking for in candidates. Am I applying too early, or should I consider waiting until I’ve completed my LLM? Also, how important are open days and virtual internships in this process? I have completed three online courses and hold a first-class BCom degree in Human Resources from South Africa. I'm also in the midst of completing my PGDL conversion. Despite my efforts, I continue to receive rejections, and I feel like there’s something I might be missing. Any advice on what I should focus on would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
