[QUOTE="lawyersum, post: 188786, member: 35580"] Hi everyone, Some of you may have seen me on the vac scheme forum, but I decided to make a new thread with a different kind of post. I graduated with a first-class law degree in July 2024. I have a journal publication as well. This is my second application cycle, and I am targeting vac schemes. My main issue is work experience!! While I accumulated lots of extracurriculars, volunteering, and even marketing/events planning roles during uni, I am now struggling in the graduate job market. When I say 'graduate job market' - I'm not solely referring to vac schemes/TCs, I am also referring to ANY type of role e.g paralegal, legal assistant, or even retail. I've even submitted a few applications to legal advice centres, but have received no answer. Reaching out on LinkedIn has been futile as well. I hate the feeling of being unemployed so I need a job for at least some fulfilment and to demonstrate work ethic while I apply to vac schemes. So, anyone, if you have [B]any [/B]opportunity going or know someone who needs admin support/paralegal support/ any support in any capacity (it doesn't even have to be legal) - please feel free to DM me or let me know, and then I can exchange personal details accordingly. I realise I am essentially begging here, but it has gotten to this point, unfortunately. Thank you all, and your general advice on this matter is also appreciated. [/QUOTE]
