Message: <blockquote data-quote="nimramansoor" data-source="post: 215967" data-attributes="member: 17345">Hi, I hope you are well. The application process can be competitive, but the reason why most applications do not get through is due to the fact that they do not tailor their application enough, or make enough applications. There is strength in quality and quantity, and I would recommend researching into the practice areas of different firms to see what you are interested in. Then, I would suggest asking yourself why you are interested in commercial law, and link all your transferable skills from the visual effects industry into the role of a trainee. These can range from teamwork, communication, organisation, resilience, and more. After this, make a list of the firms you are interested in, and tailor each application (if you can copy paste an answer from one application to another, that is not tailored enough). Specify why your unique skills are in line with the firm's work, and here you can talk about the deals that the firm has been facilitating. The firm's values are an important consideration, but I would focus the reasons on the work that the firm does and their training style (smaller trainee intake vs larger one). Attend open days, online law fairs, and get a greater insight into these firms through this. Then, make your vacation scheme applications. You can make direct TC ones as well, but I would recommend completing at least one vacation scheme before you do so, since most firms recruit mainly from their vacation schemes. Good luck!</blockquote>
