Hey everyone! Has anyone had experience of looking for a FTC paralegal job having confirmed TC? I would really appreciate hearing about your experience, how difficult it is to find a job like that and is it better to apply yourself/deal with the recruiters.

I would also appreciate having general advice on what is best to spend your time on, if you have a year or two to spare before commencing your TC! Do people like to experience some other work environment, save some money and travel or land a paralegal job?

Have you reached out to your TC firm about this? It's fairly common for firms to offer their future trainees a paralegal role in the interim.
