[QUOTE="Jesh, post: 12413, member: 2689"] Hi Jessica I graduated from Sheffield University with a 2:1 and a Commendation in my LPC. I worked as a Legal Advisor in Sheffield for a large national law firm, and then as a paralegal at a medium sized firm in Derby. I have now moved back to London (hometown) to gain city firm law experience whilst I focus on TC apps. My questions are: Will having mostly northern academics and legal experience affect my chances on securing a training contract in London? Would you suggest that it is better to focus TC apps in just the north? Do you think that me working at a large national firm and then a medium sized firm affect my chances of securing a TC at a large international or US type firm? I'm now 26 and still without a TC, do you think that being older than a usual second year / fresh graduate affect my chances in securing a TC, as I have it in my mind that firms want to mould you in a certain way from early in your career? Thank you, and thanks for supporting people like me with this forum. Rajesh [/QUOTE]
