[QUOTE="Nat, post: 29149, member: 513"] I agree - the next natural step for a paralegal is a training contract. I would suggest you check your firm's policy about internal TC applications. Some firms require internal candidates to have been employed by the firm for some time (sometimes six months) before being "eligible" to apply. In the absence of a policy, being on furlough should not affect your eligibility for a TC but you never know what happens behind closed doors. I wouldn't tell the partner about other applications but I would definitely tell them that I wish to apply for a TC at the firm and reiterate my interest in the firm (and give reasons why, eg. I have enjoyed my time there/colleagues/culture/keen to develop/contribute to the business etc). You can ask for advice on how to develop your skills to make you a stronger candidate. If not done already, you could also ask them if you could utilise the firm's free learning resources (if any). Hope it goes well. [/QUOTE]
