[QUOTE="Naomi, post: 4057, member: 822"] I totally understand where you're coming from as I'm in a similar boat myself. But I wouldn't say it's a disadvantage, as there are plenty of other things you can bring to the table so to speak. E.g. if they have a strong private equity practice, you could go to a talk or something about that and say how you appreciated the opportunity to understand the client perspective - something I have done in the past! I would echo what the others have said re LinkedIn too. Lex 100 publish a 'Day in the life' of a trainee and I messaged the trainee of a US firm I'm keen on who had written it, via LinkedIn. I told her I was interested in the firm and enjoyed reading her day in the life - she responded and we went for coffee and she gave me more tips than in 5 mins speaking to someone at a law fair, and also offered to read my app! So it's definitely worth doing! If you're a member of groups such as Aspiring Solicitors, they have a directory of lawyers who you can message too. [/QUOTE]
