[QUOTE="Danielle, post: 32078, member: 885"] I think it's important to consider that different firms look for different things. Whilst some firms look for consistently strong academics, it is important to remember that a lot of others don't (as long as you meet the minimum overall academic requirements), and instead place a lot more emphasis on soft skills, work experience, and extra-curricular activities (which, by the sounds of your post, you definitely have!). Hope is certainly not lost for you landing a Training Contract at a City firm, you just have to seek out the firms who look for the things that you have to offer. On a side note, I would strongly recommend reflecting on [I]why[/I] you didn't do so well in some of your exams, as this can often be a question that crops up in interview, and being honest and self-aware will really help the firm to look past the results. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
