Hi everyone,I am an Indian qualified lawyer, 3+ years of experience working with one of the top law firms in India. Just finished my LLM in TMT from QMUL and I am applying for vac schemes in this cycle. I did two TC applications last cycle just to understand the process but I was unprepared and knew nothing so obviously was unsuccessful. In this cycle, I have a list of firms that I want to apply to for vac schemes (about 10 firms), with their deadlines spread across December, Jan and Feb. Considering TCs, if I manage to get one, won't start till the next two years, I am planning to work as a paralegal in the interim so I am also applying for paralegal jobs whilst working a part time sales job. The lack of a routine, rejections in daily applications and the uncertainity of the process has left me very overwhelmed and while I was initially due to apply for winter vacation schemes, being severely underprepared forced me to concentrate on summer vac schemes. I am looking for advice on how to navigate the process from people who would have been in a similar position like me, I unfortunately haven't come across anyone with a similar trajectory as most master's students prefer to go back to India. Any advice on how to stand out in applications and/or leverage my Indian legal experience would be helpful.
