[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 149359, member: 2672"] You should really speak to you line manager at an appropriate time about this. You might want to wait until you are getting interviews and need time off to attend them, but a lot of people want to make sure they are able to do VS before applying and so may check this with their line manager early on. How you do this will be very dependent on how good your working relationship is with your line manager and also how long you have been working there. I have seen a whole spectrum of outcomes to this situation though. Some paralegals are able to take as much time off as they want to attend vacation schemes and have had no conflict issues. Others struggle to get the time off, or are subject to conflict checks with their paralegal firm. Some may find conflict checks are the issue with the vacation scheme firm. There are quite a few variables which make it very difficult or predict the outcome for you, but they will generally be: - your relationship with your line manager - how strict the paralegal firm are with allowing people to work elsewhere - how close a competitor the two firms are - how valued/respected you are in your paralegal firm [/QUOTE]
