[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 28037, member: 2672"] One of my favourite trainees was a legal secretary before joining the firm I worked at (and yes, I did have favourites :D). I can think of at least 2 more who came from this background. Vast majority of legal secretaries don't have ambitions to become lawyers - the number of applications firms will receive from these people could probably be counted on one hand per cycle. So it isn't that it is an issue in the eyes of the potential employer, more the flow of talent. Even those who do look to convert, may not have the education/academics to take that route. A lot of secretaries don't hold degrees or may not meet A-level criteria. Alice's advice is spot on - completely echo it. [/QUOTE]
