[QUOTE="TCpleasex, post: 211913, member: 39302"] I think your mindset is a large factor - thinking of a legal secretary job as the most entry level doesn’t solidify you employment. As someone who has worked in a high street firm as a legal secretary there is still a high level of skill and understanding necessary in that particular practice area. Just because it’s a high street firm or a secretary role doesn’t automatically make it easier. I’ve been rejected from small high street firms recently but also interviewed in the same week for large UK commercial firms. It’s not about the size of the firm or the role but what you can bring to it because also at the end of the day there are people who have made careers out of being secretaries and can bring a vast range of experience and transferable skills versus someone straight out of uni or who has never worked in law.
