[QUOTE="3000to1shoteverytime, post: 213452, member: 32484"] Just to thank you all on this forum (especially [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] and [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] and previously Jessica Booker) for the help and the chat over the past year or so and to let you know that following my vac scheme I have received a training contract offer at the London office of a US law firm and will therefore start my PGDL/SQE this September! Hang on in there! My advice is to keep plugging away. I think the advice of 10 or so targeted applications no longer stands good in today's ultra competitive market unless you are lucky. Do the research but apply for as many as you can. And definitely refine your answers to match the values they admire and skills they seek in their employees. This strategy worked for me. In the true random nature of the competitive nature of these applications I got this offer the same day as being rejected first round for a regional firm!! Please don't message to ask which firm. The intake is small enough that it would be quite outing and I do want to retain the anonymity this forum brings. I may hang around a while longer to throw in my gems of wisdom for what they may be worth!! [/QUOTE]
