[QUOTE="ZaraB, post: 112555, member: 9108"] I am 26 and have received 2 vac scheme offers this cycle and have negotiated time off with work to be able to do my chosen scheme. When I had applied for vac schemes last year with no offers I was getting bogged down with how old other people were when they got their VS offers and was worried that I am "too old" to apply. But in fact, I knew at university that I wanted to experience being a paralegal first to see if I enjoyed law in practice and if commercial law would be for me, so I would not have had the motivation to pursue this process at the time. This year I didn't put pressure on myself because I can always apply next year if I am not successful and I think this helped me not to feel like "now is my only chance to secure a VS" because of my age. Everyone has their own personal journey to a TC, don't let any concerns about your age bother you :) [/QUOTE]
