[QUOTE="klax, post: 205102, member: 32304"] I've found the best way to break into a new area is always personal connections. 1) Reach out to anyone you can think of who might be in law or know someone in law (maybe from your economist exp.) and ask them to put you in touch. Even on nights out/normal social events (& legal events tbf)- you never know who might be able to help, so mention your aspirations with people you genuinely get on with and see where it goes. Talking to someone who works at the firm (eg on LinkedIn) is rlly helpful bc even if they only give you one piece of advice you can name drop them in interviews which helps the interviewer picture you at the firm. 2) In interviews, don't be afraid to disclose personal things if relevant. My paralegal interview at a top London law firm went rlly well bc I shared a health condition as my 'challenging situation' that I got through, and the interviewer had the same health condition… You're clearly smart and hard-working so you got this, keep going!
