[QUOTE="KB2020, post: 58174, member: 6957"] Hi Kubed, I'm also a career changer and so far this application season I have had invites to two ACs, and secured one vac scheme (one other pending). My background is within retail head office so I don't think that you need specific legal experience for your application to be attractive. As a career changer you will have many transferable skills. For me personally the issue was in my application and not being tailored enough to the firm. By way of example, one of them firms that I have an AC with in the next few weeks is a firm that rejected me at application stage last year. That being said, I think as a career changer you need to be able to have very clear reasons as to why law and why now. This can be demonstrated through work experience but can also be shown by your understanding of law - attending webinars/law fairs/speaking to lawyers etc. [/QUOTE]
