Firstly, congratulations on your First Class degree, that is a great achievement and firms will look upon this favourably. I would recommend applying for vacation schemes over direct training contracts if you do not have specific legal work experience. A direct TC application is a viable route, but only if you have completed a vacation scheme before. There are some schemes that are only open for current students, but the vast majority accept graduates. I received my training contract offer after I had graduated (as a PGDL student).Firms look at transferable skills, so it does not matter if your experience is mainly in admin roles. There are key skills you learn from those, like communication, organisation, teamwork- all of which are crucial for the role of a solicitor. Rejections are a natural part of the process, do not let those demotivate you. Instead, do research on individual firms to see what practice areas they offer and build a reasoning for why those firms interest you more. This way, you can make more tailored applications that are likelier to be successful.Lastly, join TCLA Premium for a list of firm deadlines. Good luck, I wish you the best.</blockquote>
