[QUOTE="eleven14og, post: 137548, member: 18458"] Hi there, I got a paralegal position with around 4 month of internships without LPC. I would say don't worry too much about the requirements for previous experience and just submit! It is sadly a numbers game and I think I sent at least 150 applications in until I finally land my current one. From my experience, I found it's rather hard to get a role from LinkedIn applications as there are loads of applicants. You could probably try going on law firm's application portals and see if there are any job openings you are interested in. Recruitment agencies are also helpful, but they perhaps have more short term positions like document review projects rather than paralegal positions. Also, if you don't mind relocating, it's much less competitive in regional offices compared to London. I couldn't find a role in London so I left for my current role. With your CV and cover letter, it is rather time-consuming to change your cover letter for each application so I would say focus more common competencies for paralegal positions like attention to detail, working under pressure and just change law firm names upon sending. Don't lose hope and keep trying! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions! [/QUOTE]
