[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 207746, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=28588]@zoobla20[/USER] just jumping in before [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] can come back to you, in my view you should apply for vacation schemes rather than direct TCs unless one of the three following conditions apply: [LIST=1] [*]You have more extensive experience working in the legal field (paralegal roles, previous vacation schemes etc) [*]The specific firm is known to recruit a substantial part/majority of its cohort from the direct TC track [*]You have specific visa requirements barring you from VS applications [/LIST] A final exception is in my opinion for the case of lesser-known/smaller UK-based firms, where I have heard of more "speculative" TC applications succeeding. However, if you want to pursue that track I would still aim to have at least [I]some [/I]legal work experience, even if it is just in the form of Forage Virtual Internships. [/QUOTE]
