    Haven't been in this situation but what I can say is this: You've worked so hard to get that training contract- hours and hours of applications, interview prep, assessment prep etc. You got that Training Contract from your dedication and perseverance- remember that! No one can take away the...

    Is it true that while many paralegalling opportunities ask for previous paralegalling experience/LPC, most are extremely flexible to those requirements and you should apply even if you don't have experience or haven't completed the LPC?

    Do you guys think talking about a specific deal the firm is involved in, or a specific practice area and its work is a necessity in an application?
