I found that the work experience/CV sections meant a lot for my applications, so While I didn’t need to write about how working at McDonald’s made me want to be a solicitor in my main application, it was hugely beneficial in the work experience section to highlight transferable skills and basically tell firms that if I can handle all the downsides that come with a job like that, I can handle a law firm.My second piece of advice is to call/email anywhere with a legal team and see if they have the capacity to offer you work experience. Most of my experience was outside traditional law roles and I really struggled to secure vac schemes, but I managed to get experience in a company’s in-house legal team. It’s probably one of the most valuable things on my CV now.I know how disheartening the process can be. All it takes is one firm to say yes, and that will happen if you keep going!</blockquote>
