    Finding a job as a paralegal

    Finding a job as a paralegal

    I graduated in the UK. I applied to the positions RR advertised and I contacted one of the recruiters directly to discuss finding a role without the LPC. I’d recommend contacting them to do the same as I think it makes them more likely to notice you and your application. The recruiters at RR...

    Finding a job as a paralegal

    I just went through this process myself over the summer so I know how difficult it is to find entry-level paralegal positions. I also had non-law work experience with transferable skills and I made sure to always emphasise them. I really recommend the agency Ryder Reid, they were very...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I’m applying for paralegal roles at the moment and I have a couple of interviews this week. A recruiter has just asked me if I have any other upcoming interviews and I’m not sure what to reply - do I be honest or could the recruiter be put off by my other interviews? Why do they ask this question?
