Thanks for your response. I agree with someone else's response - that it is quite difficult to secure a paralegal role at such firms, particularly given recent market.
That's true, I found that my experience in another sector was actually key to securing the paralegal position - I have been informed that they were hiring for a really long time but applicants didn't have the relevant experience. I was lucky as the field I worked in gave me indirect exposure i.e. I understood how the product worked from a front-of-house perspective, even though I had never worked in the legal field previously. My experience is extremely non-traditional so I wouldn't advise it, I can only say I was fortunate and it worked for me - but if you are struggling with getting a TC or paralegal role, I may suggest looking at other areas - compliance, audit, tax, finance to build experience and get money and apply in your downtime along side - Again I was very lucky (1 application cycle and 1 firm) and please take this with a pinch of salt - however I can't see getting experience in something else as a downside as everything is transferable (if you don't believe me I was told an applicant who was a chef was given a TC two years ago which is amazing - demonstrating that many skills are sought after and experience is also invaluable)
Slaughter and May and Jones Day. Not "strict", but they do pay attention to grades beyond whether it's a 2.1.
