Message: <blockquote data-quote="SSmith" data-source="post: 100225" data-attributes="member: 19961">Hey all,Recently joined and I'm so happy to have found such a supportive forum!I wanted to ask a couple of things,  firstly how firms would look at a period of  unemployment due to family members needing care and taking time myself to recover after MH issues.I have been unemployed for almost 6 years now and had gaps while juggling admin temp jobs/ teaching and caring for my mother who had Cancer.After her passing in 2017 and almost losing another close family member to a violent crime ,I had to take time out to recover . During this time I retrained in Beauty and was self employed part time . This was ruined by covid .After some soul searching and honestly admitting to myself I am smart and capable enough to go for it,  I'm now I'm in the position to go back to work and to pursue my law conversion course I'd been putting off for years and realising I wasn't finding any path I chose challenging enough.It looks as though I'll be doing the  LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) after completing the PGDL conversion course at Ulaw , as I'd have to do a masters programme in order to get gov funding. Which is fine .My second question is what entry jobs to apply for which could give me some solid work experience within law and encompass my admin / PA experience .Since I haven't started my course I'm not eligible to get a job as a paralegal.Happy to volunteer also .Any ideas ?Many thanks!</blockquote>
