[QUOTE="smith363, post: 31311, member: 5523"] Hi Jessica I graduated in 2018, worked for a year in law and have just completed my LPC. I sent a speculative CV and cover letter for a paralegal role at a firm in London and they confirmed they had a role and asked if I wanted to be put forward for it. I confirmed that I did even though its in an area that I dont have any plans to work in in the future however, I thought that due to the current climate I should take any opportunity (especially as this role has not been advertised to the public) and marketed myself in the cover letter saying I wish to broaden my legal knowledge and experience etc. I have now been asked for a 'call zoom call' with the head of department. Is this an interview? and am I wasting my time going for a role I dont have a desire to work in? I am worried that I will be wasting time but surely any experience as a paralegal is good experience? (I obviously could be surprised and enjoy the work) Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
