[QUOTE="Salma, post: 1690, member: 23"] Thanks Jaysen! Varun, I have only just started applying for paralegal roles but I’ll try my best to answer your questions. I agree with Jaysen, applying for paralegal roles will convince recruiters that you’re 100% committed to the role of a commercial solicitor and that you know what the role entails. However, as Jaysen has suggested it might be best to develop your experience within commercial law first, whether that would be through high street firms, vac schemes, open days or legal cheek events (highly recommend this!!!!). With regards to the LPC, it might be difficult for you to secure a paralegal role without the LPC. Before I started the course, I kept wondering why I kept getting rejected for paralegal roles after sending my CV/CL but it is not until you actually complete the LPC modules that you realise why recruiters are soo picky about it. As Jaysen has suggested, have you considered, in the interim applying for legal administration roles which arguably is the same as a paralegal but less ‘legal’ (lol) or get a part-time job and start winter vac scheme apps now, in preparation for the coming VS/TC cycle?
