[QUOTE="unemployedandneedadvice, post: 181008, member: 36219"] Many candidates apply to law firms for vacation schemes and training contracts, and there are only limited places at each firm. This may not be the first or second cycle for applicants but their fifth or tenth cycle. Applying for paralegal positions are as, if not more, competitive than vacation schemes and training contracts. Perhaps this may be because firms may think candidates are applying for a training contract and are not committed long term to the paralegal role. I have a 2.1 at undergraduate level from a RG-university, passed the LPC and have an LLM from Oxbridge/Durham/UCL/LSE. I have also completed vacation schemes at international and national law firms. What do people do in order to avoid unemployment and go on state benefits such as JSA or universal credit? [/QUOTE]
