[QUOTE="Hus95, post: 122311, member: 23042"] Hi all Apologies if this has been discussed previously. Im currently a paralegal at a national law firm in the serious injury department. Its been a valuable experience and I have enjoyed it amd gained new skills and insight. whilst I am leaning towards corporate law, im considering looking for a job in a different industry whilst applying for training contracts. This is my first cycle since finishing my conversion course in 2020, mostly due a lack of confidence. im more motivated than ever and will be applying in every cycle from now on. Would leaving the sector be detrimental? i understand I can sell it as making me a more rounded candidate. would this be received well or would it be a mark against my application? my main reasons are financial but also to see if there are particular industries I would like my legal career to be focussed on. As I never left home during university, I feel like its time for new surroundings as well. Im open to new paralegal roles, however they dont pay too much and I am looking for something different, provided it doesn't hinder my applications. many thanks Hus [/QUOTE]
