[QUOTE="Newborntrainee, post: 114646, member: 3359"] Hi all I have quite an unusual background as I have studied law in France, did an exchange programme and decided to stay in the UK. I did the GDL and LLM in 2016/2017 and went on to get a job with a brand protection company. I then left to join my first law firm and worked as a paralegal for nearly 3 years. I have low grades in my A levels and average grades for the rest of my degrees, except on the LPC where I am averaging a first. I struggled when I arrived to find the support I needed to find my way to a training contract and had no idea how to qualify for a little while. When I started applying, I was older than the other candidates and it took me another few years before finally securing a training contract with a city law firm. I thought I would create this thread in case anyone has questions on getting a job as a foreigner, getting a paralegal position, studying as a foreigner, or cultural challenges or anything like this!
