Message: <blockquote data-quote="Formerrejectnowatrainee" data-source="post: 214902" data-attributes="member: 41359">I made a new account as I announced where my vacation scheme was on my other one and don’t want to be identified. Happy to announce I was offered a TC a few weeks ago. This has not been an easy road at all. This was not my first cycle. I am not an A* student. Non Russell group law degree. I have failed in converting vacation schemes previously so this was not my first rodeo. I did not make 5 applications nor did I do 40.I don’t have a detailed application strategy. Having attended multiple schemes I can say luck plays a massive factor. As well as the resources your university offers you. A low 2:1 LSE applicants has more exposure to the process than a 1st class non law applicant (in which 0 top firms attend their law fair if they have one or do dinners). The biggest advice I have for those still pushing is to have hope. Hope and determination is what will push you through. I have cried numerous times this cycle. I have wanted to quit many a times. I didn’t because I had an ounce of hope left in me. All you need is one yes.That one yes ultimately saved me going down another route and being extremely unhappy and feeling like a failure. The legal route is tough. Anyone who opens their laptop to apply to vacation schemes, open days and training contact is a fighter in my eyes. Fight for the career you want, fight for the type of firm you want to work at. If you’re rejected fight back and apply again. Post vacation schemes rejections are by far the worst but just know if you’ve experienced this feeling you are deserving of a training contact because that firm would’ve never took you on if they didn’t believe it. Keep applying and keep fighting!!!I’m sure we’ll all be sipping cocktails on our firms roof Terraces one day ❤️</blockquote>
