Hi there! Not entirely sure where I should have posted this question so here goes:I am trying to really make my applications stand out by using some inside knowledge about the firms I am applying to. I know that the best way to do this is through personally speaking to employees at law fairs or by attending events hosted by the firm.However, it seems that most events I have seen are only open to students and not people who have already started a career? I was not proactive enough at university (completely kicking myself for that) as I was not sure about a career in law at the time. I have been working as a paralegal for 2 years since completing the GDL, now 100% dedicated and would love to just prove myself. What is the best way to go about this?I have messaged some trainees on LinkedIn with questions, do you think this is a good route to take?Thank you!
