Hello!
I'm a year 12 student currently studying LIBF finance, IB business and IB psychology. I was a student that didn't know what career path I wanted to choose, so out of comfort and experience I chose these 3 subjects and when I come to think of it, I feel like finance and business are disadvantaged subjects.
I have started looking around and I'm interested in solicitor apprenticeship programmes. I'm interested in talking face to face with clients and speaking for my clients. I'm an outgoing and enthusiastic individual, I enjoy teamworking and communicating with individuals.
My main problem is my subjects, If I was to go back and choose my subjects again I would have chosen English or history or both, i enjoyed English at gcse, I don't know why I didn't do it for IB. How do I boost my application and make myself look good, I would like to be accepted into solicitor apprenticeships as it looks interesting to me but I want to prove people that I'm chosen for this role. I attended a local democracy week event, we were given microphones to talk into and voice our opinions and I built up the courage to voice my own opinion and I absolutely loved that experience.
Once again, how do I make myself look 'good' and also, am I at a disadvantage for choosing these subjects, will I get anywhere when applying for a solicitor programme? Many aspiring solicitor students I see on LinkedIn either study History or English.
Thank you .
