[QUOTE="Sunshinepink, post: 147361, member: 27714"] Hello, i am a recent Law graduate. I applied for a couple of vacation schemes and training contracts last winter but i was unsuccessful. Looking back, i can really understand why so i went for every opportunity possible and i have completed numerous certifications since, internships, online work experiences especially at the firms that i want to apply for next and i have attended many fairs and spoke to recruitment too alongside volunteering. I was also lucky enough to be asked to write a blog for my law school and i was been invited to things by the dean during my first year of uni. One thing i have not had yet is my first job but i will be working soon. However, i created my own small business right after graduation this year which has been going good. I want to know if it will count as work experience on applications? I added the first half for context because i believe i have come really far since last winter and so any input in that aspect would be nice too (Perhaps it is not enough). I also hold a 2:1 - (68%) in a mixed law degree. Thank you! :) Edit: I am not from a Russell Group university but it is in the same city as a Russell Group university. [/QUOTE]
