I graduated in over 10 years ago and worked since then. I went via the vac scheme route, completed two last summer and got TC offers after those. There are some firms that value career changers and others that focus more heavily on recent grads so you should make applications strategically.You do of course have to demonstrate a significant level of commitment to a legal career but I found that the my biggest draw was the wealth of experiences I had on my CV. I supplemented those experiences by completing a part-time GDL, taking part in pro bono and demonstrating a strong level of commercial awareness.To be honest, half the battle is being able to operate in a professional work setting and that's a real advantage we have as career changers. Alongside that, if you're able to craft a coherent narrative around why you want to train to be a lawyer (and work at a particular firm), I see being a career changer as significantly advantageous.</blockquote>
