[QUOTE="laby201, post: 169618, member: 10161"] I think it’s very much firm dependent. I did have a friend who applied earlier this cycle who took time off to work on apps after not getting a paralegal job and they got queried about this in an interview. Of course you can attend open days/do virtual experiences etc and those proactive responses will be viewed positively, but I also think some firms wouldn’t take too well to seeing you taking the application season as effectively a full-time job when others are managing other priorities. I imagine [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] may be more informed to offer advice on this as may be misinterpreting, but just basing it off a friend in a similar predicament :) [/QUOTE]
