Looking for any advice! I gave up work for a while when my eldest was born and we then had twins which really scuppered any plans to go back sooner.
My plan is to try and get some sort of legal work rather than something completely different. I am looking at doing some voluntary work when the twins start nursery so I don't have a big gap on my cv. I was thinking cab as we have a few branches nearby that always seem to have advisor vacancies. There are also some interesting volunteer roles with the local trading standards office and the police that I thought may be useful.
My plan is to try and go back as a legal assistant so pretty poorly paid but hoping to get my foot in the door, get some up to date experience and hope that if it all goes well a firm may look to let me be a fee earner again. Is anyone a conveyancer - would you be at all interested in interviewing someone with a 6 year gap?
I will go on the law society returner to work course a little closer to the time which seems to have good reviews. I will also do some conveyancing courses to try and brush up my knowledge. I have already signed up for updates generally and have started to brush up on my reading etc.
Does anyone have any advice or other suggestions? I did wonder if it was worth doing an accountancy course to brush up my skills and again have something else to show on my cv.
