At the moment I am doing one compliance course. Now the problem is after much thought process I have realized that litigation is not my cup of tea. I believe that inhouse role is something that perhaps would suit me better.
However, I don't know how should I approach the companies as they would be hesitant to offer me any job at first considering my lack of proper corporate exposure. Please suggest:
1. Should I approach them as Legal trainee hoping to get it converted to legal associate job?
2. would companies even bother to approve my traineeship, given the fact that i am not a recent law graduate?
Thankyou for going through this long paragraph of the predicament that I am right now facing. I hope that you all can help me out in figuring out the right possible option.
Thanks for being patient:)
