[USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] would likely have much more to say here, but I wanted to encourage you to keep applying for training contracts and vacation schemes in particular. They still remain the primary way most firms will be recruiting their future trainees.As for completing the SQE, it's worth noting that The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has outlined some alternatives for those who have already completed the LPC but are considering qualifying under the SQE regime. You can find the SRA’s guidance <a href="https://sqe.sra.org.uk/registering-and-booking/exemptions#:~:text=If%20you%20have%20started%20or,go%20straight%20to%20booking%20SQE2" target="_blank">here</a>, but essentially those who’ve completed the LPC do not need to take SQE1. Instead, they can complete SQE2 along with your qualifying work experience/training contract.Regarding firms that specify they aren't taking LPC graduates, it seems these firms might be outliers. Based on my experience, many firms still consider LPC graduates who are open to completing SQE2. I’d highly encourage you to apply to those firms. Many of these firms may also be able to fund your SQE2 studies. Again, these are just some initial things to bear in mind and I'm sure Jess would have more to add here. Best of luck with applications!</blockquote>
