Too many people will apply to permanent jobs and it will be pretty obvious that this isn't something you want to do long term. There is just very little point applying for those roles</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Set up job alerts on LinkedIn and if you are interested in law, then Law Gazette's job board too - to me these are the best sites rather than signing up to something like Reed or Indeed where you will just get bombarded with irrelevant jobs.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Consider other roles within law firms: business development, CSR/pro bono teams, event Grad Rec can often take on junior/administrative roles on an interim basis. I have had part-time LPC students working in my Grad Rec teams before</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Consider signing up with a temp paralegal agency. I can't really recommend any as I haven't utlised one in ages and it will also depend on your location, but temp paralegal roles tend to be a good way of getting your foot in the door. I have seen many temp paralegals impress, then receive a paralegal fixed term contract, and then for those people to get training contracts either at the same firm or at a similar firm</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Think about utilising your particular unique skill set. If you have a fluency in a language, this will be a clear advantage in a role that requires that language skill. Sometimes paralegal roles may want someone with more of a tech or science background depending on the type of work you will be doing/the clients you will be working for. You can set up job alerts with key words that include these things - the more targetted you are, the better.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Look at opportunities in in-house departments or in different types of legal services (like the role Alice mentioned in one of the threads the other day). Sometimes start-up companies won't post on major job boards, so this may require a bit more digging around or visiting their indiviudal websites if you have time.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Follow the right people on LinkedIn - people tend to share and link opportunities that come up</li> </ul></blockquote><p></p>
