[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 144445, member: 2672"] For the stickability point, the way to tackle that is not really about highlighting the skills (that shows your competence), it’s more about clearly articulating your motivations and why this is now what you definitely want to do rather than just something you could do. My sense (on the very limited amount of information) is that could be the issue here - if you have had experience in graduate recruitment too, that adds to the diverse range of things you have done (and many of those are very different to a legal career), so clearly articulating why you want to do law rather than just showing your capabilities within it, might be something to focus on. You have clear extenuating circumstances, so I would encourage you to apply to any firm, even if they have an A-level criteria. If you do have any proof of these circumstances (such as an academic reference from your school/college), I would mention that you can provide this to them at a later stage if they would like to see it.
