I've been trying to find anyone with the same query as me but have been unsuccessful, hence why I've decided to start a new thread!
I feel like it's a bit of a silly question, but I'm also too cautious right now to make any big moves haha. Would love to hear people's experiences/ thoughts/ advice!
TDLR: I'm wondering whether it's still possible to apply for other types of internships or do jobs etc. prior to your TC start date?
How would this work? Would recruiters/employers see your secured graduate role and reject you straight out? Would applying to banking summer internships (just as an example) despite already having signed a TC be against the terms of contract of both employers? I know most TC terms indicate that you must inform the firm of any outside employment, but I believe that is only for once you start your QWE with them right?
I just feel so stagnant with nothing more to do...no more applications to write, no more big things to chase, no more proper work to do (until uni term starts that is)...would love to find a part-time job for the rest of the summer but 2 months is not an attractive length of employment to most restaurants/ cafes/ other employers haha. Most people are saying to take a well-deserved break but I think I've gotten too used to always having something to do so it's become quite unsettling now that I've achieved my goal (and I'm not able to go on holidays or anything so I'm a bit bored at this point!). (Yes, I'm doing some hobbies right now but they don't feel fulfilling enough haha...what have I become...) I guess the deeper feeling is that the next 3 years of my life are planned out for me (which is a BLESSING) but simultaneously it makes me feel slightly ambitionless hahah (I'm not too sure what this dilemma / contradictory feeling is lol).
Any recommendations on what one can do after securing a TC? Would boutique/ local firms/ practices take in a paralegal for 2-3 months only? Would I even be able/ allowed to do that? It feels almost like working for a competitor HAHA
What do people normally do after securing a TC?
