I would wait a couple of more weeks if you can, although I know this can be tricky if you have final year exams. I typically say 6-8 weeks before you can start a role, so it will depend on when in July you are looking to start.

You may want to start registering with some recruitment agencies now though, as that process can add on a couple of weeks anyway.
Thanks Jess. When it comes to applying to paralegal roles as a final-year, would you recommend putting module grades on my CV or just overall predicted grade?

You can put modules on your CV. Particularly to highlight relevant modules to the type of role you are applying to or where you have performed well. But it tends to be the case you don’t need to list out module grades in the same way you do for TC applications, so an overall grade whether final or predicted tends to be sufficient. It is just whether you want to highlight grades to strength your application.

Worried. Submitted a CV for a training contract I didn't list all my grades just the ones which I thought would be most relevant because I saw it on a workshop for some firms (not the firm I am applying to) Should I email and see if I can resubmit the CV with all my modules? They don't have an email for grad recruitment. Should I call the firm directly? I put the range of grades I got for my qualifying modules and specific grades for the optional modules and dissertation which I thought most relevant. Most legal recruiters have told me it is fine but I haven't got confirmation from the firm directly. I submitted it a while ago but the deadline isnt until the end of April. What should I do?
