    ILEX trainee employment
    I'm thinking of doing the ILEX legal executive qualification after i've finished college, however i was wondering how you go about getting suitable employment if you don't have any law experience?
    does anyone have any experience with ILEX qualification and could give me some information?

    I imagine the same advice would apply as for applying for any paralegal/legal assistant type roles: apply to lots of places speculatively as well as answering job ads, push up any relevant non-legal experience (office work, dealing with customers etc) and relevant skills/qualifications you might have.

    You may find that you need to apply for an entry level/ admin position first to get your foot in the door and work your way up as it's such a competetive market.
