[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 78993, member: 5063"] I'm tending to err towards agreement with Jess here. The willingness to make sacrifices like salary to take a more 'legal' job is admirable, but, personally, I think it runs the risk of taking a gamble on what might be in the future and it may not end up working out like that. If you have a steady job, various experiences and a good amount to discuss in the application process as it is, there's nothing to say that taking a new position like you say would necessary dramatically improve your application. I think it sounds like you've got a great employer at the moment who's given you an awesome bit of free leash to go and explore more legal work, and, in interview, I think that actually says more for you than taking another job would: it tells me that your employer thinks you are able to do the extra work, that they can trust you to take on important other duties, that you were proactive enough to seek out further opportunities within your workplace etc. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
