[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 123572, member: 17155"] This may sound simplistic but I think you need to listen to what your gut says is best for you. Take all the information you have on hand, evaluate what your options are, and make a decision that you think will benefit you the most. The truth is very few things in terms of work experience can hinder a training contract application. Because you're a new entrant in the industry, your previous experiences are looked at more roundly than someone else who's been in the industry for far longer. So non-legal work experience is valued and regarded to a high degree as well. Every experience brings transferable skills with it and that's what you need to focus on conveying in applications. This will ensure that firms value what [I]you [/I]value for yourself- whether its skills and lessons you've learnt in the legal industry or elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
