[QUOTE="nimramansoor, post: 215970, member: 17345"] Hi, congratulations, a 2.1 from Bristol while working full time and raising your daughter shows just how much resilience you have! I think that highlights just how much aptitude you have for this role, and I fully believe you will be able to receive an offer with that level of determination. I would recommend building a solid answer for why commercial law, and then think about all the skills you have to offer that will be in line with the role of a trainee. Then, I would suggest making a list of firms you are interested in based on their practice areas, researching into the deals that the firm has engaged. Once you have figured out what practice areas interest you, also look at the firms' style of training. Some have larger cohorts, while others are smaller. If you work better in leaner teams, I would recommend American firms as well. After you have developed a good level of commercial awareness, start attending online law fair events and open days (especially speaking to representatives at the firms you have great interest in). Then, start making vacation scheme applications. I would suggest making those over direct TC ones since firms mainly recruit from vacation schemes. I believe you have a solid chance, good luck- I wish you the best! [/QUOTE]
