[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 126523, member: 17155"] Firstly, I must say that there really is no requirement for you to have any law-based work experience and that it's crucial for you to value whatever experiences you have been able to secure for yourself and the knowledge you have gained from them. Firms recognise what [I]you [/I]value so if you minimise experiences that have genuinely helped you better understand this profession, even if it is a virtual VS, then firms won't know to accord it any value either. I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with rejections. Have you thought of getting your applications professionally reviewed? You could try your uni careers service or [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/application-review/']TCLA's application review service[/URL], or you could even try using the input of someone you trust personally, whether it's a family, friend or teacher. This will help you understand how your writing is being perceived and received by the reader and help you fine-tune your applications. If you're keen on applying for paralegal roles, using LinkedIn can be a great way to find recruiters who can connect you with suitable opportunities. I think [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has a great perspective on this as well so I will tag her for her input as well! You've got this! I'm rooting for you! [/QUOTE]
