[QUOTE="Nicole Akinyemi, post: 47479, member: 3618"] Hi Kelly I did not apply for TCs during or immediately after university and because of that, I found recruiters were more interested in what I had done post-qualification. I was lucky to obtain several administrative, compliance and legal work which all contributed to me obtaining a TC. I learnt transferable skills, how to build relationships within a law firm and also, how a legal firm operated as a business. However, I also learnt transferable skills from working in retail and teaching English in Spain. If you are looking for work, I would consider applying to jobs that you are qualified for and jobs that you may be over-qualified for. I tried for months to look for a paralegal role but ended up with a legal secretary position. Despite being over-qualified, I learnt a lot and worked on my skills. Also, since you have recently graduated from university, a role as an academic legal writer might be up your street. [/QUOTE]
