I’m a two years’ qualified solicitor working in the regions. I’m currently looking for a job with a decent City firm, but it’s not going well. I’ve had a lot of interviews but I’m not getting anywhere. I have decent academics and I’ve been told I come across well in interviews. I also make a point of doing research in firms before interviews.
So I’m really starting to wonder if the fact that I’m a (British-born) black man has anything to do with it. Law firms talk about diversity but that never seems to include hiring black men. I’m not expecting any magic answers, I’m just wondering if anyone else out there has had similar experiences.
