[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 50674, member: 1572"] Hi there, I don't think pursuing the LLM will help necessarily make you a stronger candidate and when you factor in the costs, it will not be worth it if you don't have an interest in the subject matter . While I'm sure a paralegal role would help both in terms of convincing firms you're serious about the career and to increase your own understanding of the work firms do, I think it can be incredibly difficult (although not impossible) to secure a role without the LPC. If I remember correctly, [USER=201]@Flora R[/USER] has some experience on securing one without the LPC. Something else you might want to consider is that it can be difficult to balance applications with paralegal work, so maybe you can consider pursuing something less demanding like legal admin jobs that involves less law but will still give you exposure to the work that firms do. In terms of what you can do to build up your experiences, there's some great advice on these threads: [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/what-you-should-be-doing-now.511/[/URL] [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/extra-curriculars.645/[/URL] Let me know if you need more help. :) [/QUOTE]
