Hello,


I am writing here because I just feel a little frustrated and would like some advice. I have a law degree (RG uni, 2.1) and since I’ve been working in the creative industry. I passed both sqe1 and 2 while working full-time and self funded. I literally wasted no time working and studying at the same time.


Now I’m trying to get a paralegal job/secure a TC but it just seems impossible. I can’t do a VS because of my job, and even attending an open day is sometimes not really possible as I work at a small company and I often have a client meeting everyday and stuff. On top of that, I am on a skilled worker visa, so I need a firm that is willing to sponsor me.


I did 5 TC applications this summer just passed, and I was unsuccessful after the second stage or at the first stage of process. I haven’t heard back from a lot of paralegal jobs either. I know that I just need to keep pushing and try harder but it really makes me doubt myself.


If anyone can advise me on what would be the best way to navigate through this or any advice on securing a paralegal job, I would be very grateful. I know a lot of people in this forum are going through similar things so sorry for whinging! Thank you.
