I’m in my final year of university studying Law. I’m predicted a 2:1 and have been applying to vacation schemes and training contracts but have only received rejections. I’ve put in so much hard work to my degree but don’t have any connections in the industry. It feels impossible to get a foot in the door. Any advice?
