Hi there.Unlike training contracts/VS applications, I genuinely believe that to succeed in the recruitment process for paralegal roles, you need to be shamelessly blasting your CV to as many recruiters in the City as possible. It took me three months of sending out CVs via Indeed and LinkedIn and directly reaching out to recruiters before I even got a callback, and another month before I got an interview for a paralegal/similar role.I will also add that the recruitment energy has cooled considerably throughout 2023. Outside of litigation and certain advisory departments, law firms just are not as busy. This feeds through to less money to hire paralegals.Resilience and tenacity are necessary traits to get your foot in the door as a City paralegal! Definitely start contacting recruiters.
