[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 178458, member: 2672"] Something like construction might be a possibility given you have done a real estate seat. Moving to something like competition though is likely to be more tricky because none of your seats are directly connected to this area - you really need some corporate experience to put you in the best position to take on competition work if you haven’t done a competition seat. Competition also tend to be quite a popular area to go into - generally I would say that supply exceeds demand for NQ roles and I can’t remember seeing someone qualifying competition without either a competition or corporate seat. It can happen but it is exceptionally rare. If you ultimately want to try and qualify into one of these areas the best way to do so would be to gain experience in that practice area, and if you cannot achieve that because of the restrictions of the options of your training contract you need to try and secure further seats that are as closely related to the area that you want to qualify into instead.
