[QUOTE="legallady123, post: 212798, member: 11846"] First of all, congrats on your interview! I received a TC offer at a large commercial firm only with previous public inquiry and immigration paralegal experience. I work in medical law now and for various reasons I am now applying to other TCs, and am struggling with sounding commercially focused in any of my answers. I think you will gain transferable skills you can definitely write about in applications which helps, and law firms often recruit career changers. However, I personally think I may have had better luck this year with applications if I had recently worked in more commercially focused areas as a paralegal. I also graduated in 2021, so feel like I can’t [I]really[/I] write about being in the commercial law society etc at university as part of my motivation now. I think any legal experience is good experience, but I just wanted to offer my perspective as someone in a fairly similar position 😊 [/QUOTE]
