Hi everyone! Just need some advice, either from applicants or from those who have been through the process.
I'm in my third year of a History degree at a Russell Group university, averaging a mid 2:1 with a chance at a first. My original intention was to do an MA etc but I've come back to the idea of law recently; it was something I considered before uni but not to the extent of work experience etc. I have worked all through uni and in the holidays (out of necessity more than anything), in everything from retail to b2b sales to admin work, just nothing specifically legal in nature
Obviously the fact that I do history isn't much of a hindrance but as said, I've got no legal related work experience at all. Though I have a pretty solid knowledge of the different areas of law and what they entail, will the fact that I haven't actually
done anything pretty much rule me out in terms of vacation schemes and training contracts for this year? There's a law fair at my university in the coming weeks and I have earmarked a few employers to talk to but I just don't want to be laughed out the building in favor of those who have prepared for this since they were 18.
Any advice at all on how to proceed would be welcomed!
