  • How can you get an entry-level legal job if every job requires previous experience? In this video, I give you all my tips for how to search for roles requiring no experience, how networking can help your search, and how to tailor your CV and cover letter (with examples!)
    These types of roles are great ways to develop your skills and legal knowledge to help you secure a Training Contract, or even add to your Qualifying Work Experience if you are looking to qualify through the SQE!

    Love this! I started as a legal administrator in June and I'm enjoying it so much. I think it will really help when I start my degree next year too! 😁

      Awesome! An administrator role is such a good one to start your career with - I feel like it really helped me understand how a firm works, and learn about legal documents without the pressure of fee earning!

    Only 5% of the worlds population gets their job on line. It’s connections, who you know and right place/right time.
