[QUOTE="yellowponytwin, post: 197557, member: 36232"] Hi! I am currently working a bar job while applying for TCs - I have a lot of experience in hospitality and love it (also helps that it doesn’t look terrible on an application!) I have done two separate weeks of shadowing, one at an MC firm and one with a local high street firm who had a family seat which I absolutely loved sitting in on. I have two contacts who are criminal judges so I’m trying to find the time to shadow them too at some point - as much for my own entertainment as for applications. But as I’m sure everyone agrees, it is tough to find the time to build any legal work experience while in the application process. I’ve been contacting firms with offices in countries where I speak the language, but so far no luck with work experience. My sister is currently in an overseas office doing a paid internship with [URL='https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/freshfields.13']Freshfields[/URL] so I know it’s possible, it’s just finding someone to accept me! Thank you for your reply :) [/QUOTE]
