[QUOTE="Dwight, post: 142109, member: 4218"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], I am finding it very difficult to secure a paralegal job in London. This is boiled down to the fact that 99% of paralegal positions in London require at least 6 months of experience (usually it is 1 year, and some state 2-3 years!). I am a recent graduate and have no paralegal experience. The usual response I am receiving is that "although your CV / academics / profile looks great, you do not match the requirements of the role / you do not have the requisite experience". What on earth do I do? It seems impossible to secure a paralegal job in London. Therefore I wanted to ask the following: (1) What other jobs can I do in London as an aspiring commercial lawyer (don't have a TC atm). (2) Thinking of relocating outside of London for a paralegal role (it seems a lot easier to secure a paralegal role outside London as I don't think the requirements are as strict). I don't live in the locations I am considering, so how would such a relocation usually happen? Does the firm help with it? Or do you just have to find a place before the role starts? Would really appreciate your help. [/QUOTE]
