[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 125623, member: 17155"] You definitely have a chance, you will just need to work harder than a candidate from an Oxbridge/RG university to access opportunities to get recruited and to demonstrate that you are more than capable to work at the firm of your choice. My tips to get started- [LIST] [*]Your grades need to be stellar- ensure that they at least meet the minimum requirement that the firms you're aiming at set for their candidates. [*]Networking- attend as many webinars, networking events, open days etc. that you can and stay in touch with the people you connect with. This will help you fill the gap in connections to people working in SC/MC firms that you may face at your uni. Follow Instagram or LinkedIn creators who are current or future trainees to understand their perspective and gain their knowledge of the TC process. [*]Your applications need to be top notch- Ensure you get your application reviewed by us at TCLA or your uni careers counsellor or someone you trust who works in commercial law. This is crucial because the language and terminology that firms expect to read in applications is generally not taught at or as engrained in non-London/non-RG/non-Oxbridge unis, which is why you need to make the effort to actively seek out the support you need to develop this style of writing and speaking. [/LIST] Please keep us in the loop with how you get on. We're rooting for you and 100% believe that you can do this! [/QUOTE]
