It has been more than a month since I was called to the Bar, wigged and robed. For a day it felt as if I'd made it, after all those years of hard work. The feeling didn't last long, though.

I thought that my 2:1 degree, a major Inns of Court scholarship, a couple of modern languages and 11 mini-pupillages would at least get me some interviews. They didn't.
