[QUOTE="ADKM, post: 142399, member: 25667"] Hi Jaskaran, thank you for your kind words. I am not the best person to give advice but from what I have learned so far is to value and appreciate everything you have achieved to get to a certain point in your life. This is the mentality with which I went into my paralegal interviews. I spoke about every experience I have gained in life (personal & professional) to justify my ambition of working for that particular firm and in that particular role. This way I was presenting my authentic self while displaying the skills I have accumulated over the past 2-3 years. In your case, I would suggest you to keep this attitude, it would certainly help you. Don’t discard any experience you have had, your experience of working in trial courts is very relevant when looking for legal roles in the UK. You would have gained skills like communication, negotiation, organisation, drafting, attention to detail all of which are very important transferable skills. You can display you have these skills only if you value each & every experience you have accumulated up until now. Be positive and have faith in your abilities that you have the qualities to get the job you want. It might take time but you will eventually get what you deserve. All the best. [/QUOTE]
