Is there still a chance of me getting a training contract at a reputable firm?

<b>I completed the LPC in July 2007 with a commendation after a consistently good academic record (AAB for A levels, 2:1 at a top ranking university with no retakes or gaps in education). I’ve had interviews from “magic circle” firms throughout my degree, and a few weeks ago had an interview at a top 20 city firm. For the last few months I voluntarily paralegalled, clerked and now work for a legal headhunting company while applying for training contracts at mid-size commercial firms. I would like to know, now that I’ve completed the LPC, whether there is a chance of me obtaining a training contract at a reputable firm? And, secondly, what steps I should be taking now? Am I right to work for a legal recruitment company in the mean time or will that work to my disadvantage? </b>
