[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 80562, member: 2672"] Permanent roles may make it more difficult to take up vac scheme opportunities as some employers will not allow you to take annual leave to work for another company. That could be the same for contract or temp roles but obviously there is less of a commitment to those roles and the role could be up by the time the vacation scheme comes around. I generally advise to focus on temp or contract roles if your CV suggests you are aiming for a TC. If a paralegal role is permanent, they want a mid to long term commitment for someone to be in that role, not someone who will be there for less than 18 months and then look to either start their LPC or TC. Firms tend to not care about that for contract roles because of the short term nature of the role. No role will have a negative impact on your CV/application - any experience is better than none.
