[QUOTE="Lumree, post: 15859, member: 1532"] Welcome! It’s great to have you. In short, you can demonstrate your career ambitions but still express a clear interest for the paralegal role. In my experience, honesty in the best policy. By making your career ambitions clear, your motivations for the paralegal role make more sense. Recruiters are switched on and they know a lot of law students don’t come out university desperate to be paralegals. For many, it is a role that gives them experience to progress to a TC (along with other qualities law firms are looking for.) By making that clear, you come across as genuine. However, I still think it’s important to express an interest in the role. Getting a TC won’t be the sole reason you’ve chosen to apply for a paralegal role. If that was your only reason, you could have chosen a dozen other jobs, like something in banking or as a legal assistant.
