[QUOTE="abhuzaifa02, post: 229415, member: 43461"] Hi [USER=34032]@LawAspirer[/USER] I definitely do not think that the work experiences you have listed is off putting to law firms. During my vacation scheme, I met candidates with experiences ranging from simple retail roles (like myself) to work experiences in tech start-ups, banks and other large corporations. Therefore, I believe it is [I]very [/I]unlikely that your work experiences itself is preventing you from getting a vacation scheme. Instead, I would reflect upon how you are potentially framing your experiences throughout your applications and interviews. Are you properly tailoring your experiences to your interest for each firm and commercial law more widely? Are you correctly using your experiences to demonstrate alignment with the skills required of a trainee solicitor at a particular firm? A simple shift in the way you sell your experience can genuinely take you from receiving rejections to receiving a yes. Feel free to reach out via DM - hope the above helps! [/QUOTE]
