I have just completed my law degree, having obtained a 2:1, but I am entirely confused as to what step to take next. I am taking a gap year before my LPC and traveling from September to December this year. The problem is that I have had no work experience to date and haven’t given much thought to a training contract.

The main reason for taking a gap year was to get work experience, which am I on track to do in 2008, but if I need to be applying for a training contract, should I not already have work experience? If I’m doing work experience next year, how will my CV look to someone recruiting for training contracts now?
