You can prove your commitment to a legal career in other ways (uni events, shadowing experience etc). You may need to start out in “less desirable” roles (fixed term or context review positions) before progressing to the bigger firms. It can be quite challenging to get your foot in the door but once you do get the first bit of paralegal experience on your CV, it becomes much easier. It took me a while to get there as I am a 2020 grad.  For me, I did not see the benefit of paying for the SQE course myself when every firm I am applying to will fund it for me and for the most part, do not see not having the SQE as a disadvantage. When going for TCs, law firms like to see experience which is why I’ve focused my efforts on gaining experience. I also think it can help develop you into a better candidate by having that first person experience in a law firm. It has massively helped my confidence at least! Hope that helps and happy to chat!</blockquote>
