Thank you and good question! In all honesty, I have very good work experience which I believe helped me to stand out in my applications. My general advice here would be to really draw on your skills and think about how you can use your unique experiences to help you stand out during the process.
You should also learn how to write convincingly, in a way that is succinct, aligns with the firms values and core work offering. It took me almost two years to understand how to truly write an application. I’d also recommend tcla premium to read through past successful applications and learn how to write in a similar way.
As mentioned above, I also only really applied to firms with no grade requirements (both A level and GCSE) to really maximise my chances.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to help!!
