I have worked as a medical secretary, a clerical assistant and a Phlebotomist. I want a change from working in the hospital. I want to do legal secretary work. I have no experience. What do i need to do to get my foot in the door? Is 35 years too old for this job? What courses would i need to attend?

I want to work really hard to make a good future for my children. I am determined to make this work, and willing to undertake any courses/training necessary.

I wanted to study towards Paramedic Sciences, but in my current situation, this is not practical and sensible, as a single parent.

Thanks in advance for the advice

My wife worked as secretary/PA to a General Manager for several years and then got a job as a secretary/data input person in an Accounts Section of a holding Company. At the age of 58 she was made redundant, so went temping to take her through to retirement. An early placing was with a firm of solicitors; they liked her so much they pleaded with her to stay with them...

Oooh thank you. x
35 isn't too old for anything!

Except perhaps a professional sportsperson.

You couls always try temping as a way to get experience and get your foot in the door.
