[QUOTE="Bugsy Malone, post: 50697, member: 201"] Hey - yes I have experience with this! I've had several paralegal/legal assistant roles since graduating. I think some roles do require you to have completed the LPC, particularly in London, although I know several people there who also did not complete the LPC so it's definitely achievable. Paralegalling has really helped me to realise the type of firm I want to train at and has provided me with experiences to draw on when writing apps and answering questions in interviews. Although, I use my non legal work experiences just as much. I think what Dheepa has said is very true, my first two roles were full time and I found it hard to spend as much time as I wanted to on apps and to attend careers events at the last minute due to this. As most paralegal jobs in my area were for full time positions, last year I decided to take on a legal secretary role instead. Although, this was a bit of a step down in terms of responsibility and stimulating tasks, it was a part time role so I was able to spend two extra days on bolstering my extra-curriculars and apply for firms. This worked out well for me as I was able to still be in a legal environment and have more time, so I'd maybe consider more administrative roles if you feel similar. Hope this helps and I'm happy to answer any additional ques :) [/QUOTE]
