[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1688, member: 1"] You can definitely work on your interviewing skills. To answer your second question: sure, a paralegal role will help you to convince firms that you have an interest in commercial law, especially if you have no experience in the area already. It will also help somewhat with commercial awareness, although there are many other ways to develop commercial awareness. And you will still need to put the work in to cover other aspects of commercial awareness. It's hard to recommend the paralegal route before knowing: Do you have any existing legal or commercial work experience? Have you attended any open days or firm events? What extracurricular activities do you have? You may be able to secure winter vacation schemes if you nail down your application and have some of the experiences I mention above. I would also note that if you haven't done the LPC, a paralegal role may be harder to secure. If I recall, [USER=23]@Selma95[/USER] mentioned applying to paralegal roles.
