[QUOTE="Nicole, post: 1553, member: 16"] It sounds like you are a strong candidate if you made it through to final interviews at those kinds of firms. I think all or almost all of the roles I have seen for a paralegal require you to have done the LPC. I'm sure there are some that don't, but it may be tough to find one. I'm not too familiar with the route after that. I do know that you can qualify as a paralegal through the "equivalent means" route: [URL]https://www.thelawyer.com/equivalent-means-paralegal-shortcut/[/URL], but you need to go through a lot of hurdles to get there. The SQE may also shake things up here. Working as a paralegal will demonstrate to firms that you are interested in a career in commercial law. It may also lead to interviewers wondering why you had to go through that route to secure a training contract. But as long as you demonstrate you are a good candidate, that shouldn't that big of an issue. I know I still haven't answered your question! Assuming you can't find a paralegal role, is there anything you could do instead while you still apply? And is the money a big issue for you? [/QUOTE]
