You’re an nq, there isn’t much science to it unless you’re clear where you want to go and it doesn’t sound like you are. Just draft a good cv (this skill is seemingly beyond the vast majority of lawyers) and get it to the recruiters.
However in an attempt to provide more helpful advice
£ should not be the primary motivator here as you are at the outset of your career so there are lots of factors - what area do you want to qualify into?
If you're any good then you wont need to apply, the head hunters will be tapping you up. In fact if they are not already doing so then you may as well write off your career now.
Delta I would have to disagree here in that no headhunter is going to know much about what a trainee has been up to and visibility online varies enormously, they will just be getting in touch with NQs more generally..therefore:
1. Pimp your linkedin - do not underestimate the increasing value of doing this
2. If you are seriously keen then reach out to 5+ recruiters and assume out of 5 calls you will find one that actually knows what they are talking about.

I did this. It was piss easy. The key to it I think, was applying for other jobs. That seemed to do the trick. I had a couple of good agents too.

Also have other trainees or recent NQs in the area you want to work in moved recently - always helpful if there is previous
