[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 87280, member: 2672"] Your non-legal work experience sounds great and will definitely be things to include. You should also include any part-time job or volunteering roles too. I think you are doing the right thing in applying for open days - there will also be some first year "programmes" which are usually short term insight programmes you could apply to. Forage internships will also be a good thing to add too. You may find local firms are more willing to take you on informally this year, so that could be a good way to gain further legal experience. You tend to have to apply to them speculatively - but don't be too concerned if you don't secure work via this route. I think your experiences sound very good for this stage of your career and it sounds like you are doing a lot to try and develop it further, so I think this all sounds great. [/QUOTE]
