[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 212818, member: 2672"] I personally wouldn't worry too much about an employer having to train you up for a paralegal role. Companies consider attrition rates when hiring, especially for positions like Paralegal, which tend to have higher turnover. If the role is something right for you in terms of the opportunity right now (compared to other options you have), you should go for it. It is not an issue if the role is in another area of law. It is likely to develop some transferable skills and knowledge. If you receive the job offer, just about how you can show your interest in a business-focused career through activities like events, virtual work experiences, and extracurriculars. That said, if you feel the role is not right for you and you would prefer to wait until you find something more suited to your interests, that is fine too. But generally any employment will bring something to your application and so I think you just have to weigh it up alongside the other job opportunities you are in the mix for/considering. [/QUOTE]
