“I am a fourth year law and German LLB student at a top 10 university, due to graduate this year with a 2:1. This is the second year I have gone through the vacation scheme/training contract application process and I am starting to feel disillusioned.
“I have reached the final stages of the application process with a good handful of firms, but it seems that my inability to cross the threshold may have something to do with me or my personality.
“I am a good all-rounder, with non-legal work experience since the age of 16 and legal work experience with two large commercial firms (one magic circle) and a small respected family law firm. I am an active fundraiser for various charities and a keen sportswoman, as well as speaking four languages. I have wanted to be a solicitor since the age of eight, but I am wondering at what stage it may be wise to start thinking about other careers?
“I have considered doing my LPC despite not getting a TC, but I am starting to wonder whether this is wise as despite the fact that my CV has improved massively over the past few years, my career prospects haven’t. I would appreciate any advice.”
