Hello,Something I always struggle with for applications is a lack of relevant work experience. I haven't done any vac schemes and my only legal experience is two months' part time at an immigration law firm. I've had various jobs since sixth form (cleaner, factory worker, bar staff, hostess, cashier etc.), but not proper business/commercial roles. I'm now in my first proper job since graduating (in the fund research team at a wealth management company) but I don't think this is enough.Currently writing my application for Kirkland and an interview with grad rec said "In terms of other requirements, we’re looking for a minimum 2.1 and strong A level results, as well as work experience in a similar environment to ours". I've read a successful application and this person had done numerous shadowing, insight schemes and interned at places such as KPMG...Not really sure what my question is, but feel like giving up because I think I'll be screened out already. How can I come across as a credible candidate when I'm already on the back foot so to speak??
