[QUOTE="Bugsy Malone, post: 1709, member: 201"] Hi Varun I graduated last summer and was in a similar situation to you. I hadn’t studied the LPC but managed to secure a paralegal role at a smallish firm with offices in Sussex and London. Working in the litigation department has given me the opportunity to experience a variety of different practice areas, from family to property, wills and probate, and (my favourite) commercial. This has given me a better understanding of ‘practice areas’ and ‘sector focuses’ – terms I struggled to fully appreciate before! It has also allowed me to see what it would be like to train at a firm this size. These experiences have really helped me to decide the type of firm I would like to apply for VSs and TCs at. Having said this, I have recently handed in my notice as I’m finding it difficult to balance working full time with researching firms and building my commercial awareness – so something to think about if you are wanting to apply for schemes this year. I hope this helps in some way! [/QUOTE]
