[QUOTE="boots pharmacy, post: 217147, member: 38022"] Hi all, hope everyone reading this is well. ☺️ I am an international student who recently graduated with a 2:1 in law from a solid university (i.e. LSE/UCL), but did not manage to secure a TC. I will be staying in London on a graduate visa and am hoping for advice on my applications strategy for the coming years. I have been advised that experience as a paralegal would put me in a strong position for VS/TC applications in the coming cycles. However, I have also heard that paralegal roles can be very competitive, often requiring experience (which I do not have). I am also unfamiliar with other general expectations like working hours, length of employment, pay, etc. Are there specific roles/areas I should be aiming for? (i.e. firms that have a paralegal-trainee pipeline, or specific practice areas that large law firms particularly appreciate when considering applications). Could anyone please share where I could learn more about this? I would especially appreciate insights from people who secured TC's after paralegaling for a while (and the impact of that experience on your interviews/AC's, etc), or those who chose alternative paths (and your reasons why). Thank you! [/QUOTE]
