[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 13428, member: 2672"] No one can shed light on your chances unfortunately. I would just start applying to winter vacation schemes and see how your applications go. It seems like some of the GDL providers are adapting the course to make it somewhat ready for the SQE anyway - so it might be a good idea to sign up. When looking at someone like your’s application, is that there can be a concern you are just trying to CV build and that your long term aspirations are not to stay in the UK. If you have no ties to the UK, then there can also be a greater concern that you might not even like the UK! You are in a difficult time predicament as you either have to make the decision to start the GDL in the next 12 months, or decide to wait for the SQE in 2021. You couldn’t start a traditional TC until Feb/Mar 2022 (assuming you started a GDL in the new year), but you could qualify by then if you accumulated the right work experience and passed the SQE stages. Paralegal roles will be difficult if you don’t have any knowledge on English law - it’s why they typically will expect people to have a level of education within it. There are exceptions though. My advice - focus on the very short term paralegal roles, especially temp roles. Avoid permanent roles or lengthy contract roles, as these typically have higher expectations. [/QUOTE]
