[QUOTE="IntrepidL, post: 69730, member: 291"] Hi [USER=10267]@chichi[/USER], thank you so much for sharing this and I am sorry you are feeling this way. I was in the same position as you a few years back and believed that my lack of legal experience would put me at a disadvantage. However as [USER=1535]@Asmee DC[/USER] states, it is not crucial to have legal work experience. I often found that at interviews, the interviewers appeared more interested in my non-legal work experience as well as the transferrable skills obtained so please do not feel disheartened. As for things you can do over summer, I've seen quite a number of remote internships being advertised online. I would recommend applying for some, or connecting with individuals on LinkedIn to find opportunities that might interest you. In addition, finding opportunities to write commercial articles for an organisation is a fantastic way to refine your commercial awareness over summer so when you go for interviews in the near future, you can discuss certain topics at length and drive the content of your interview to talk about things you are genuinely interested in. All the best and I have my fingers crossed for you ! :) [/QUOTE]
