Hello! Congratulations!! Please when did you hear from HSF? I applied to them very early on and have heard nothing back. This is for vacation scheme.
Mayer Brown PFO post-job simulation! These online tests are the death of me 
An update for those who applied to Birketts: their applications increased by 62% this year so may take longer for them to get back to us.
Congrats on getting the VI for White & Case. 🥳
If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and when did they get back to you with the VI invite?

The key issue is that paralegal roles are not all equal. A lot of them are very basic administrative roles that will not develop the same skills as a trainee will as typically their responsibilities are different.
There are some paralegal roles where they get high levels of responsibility and can have higher levels of challenging work than a trainee has. But I’d say it’s more common for a paralegal role to not be as complex as a trainee role, and therefore you are not getting the same level of training to prepare you for an NQ role.
Because of this, there will be some people who qualify via the SQE/QWE route without a training contract, but they are over qualified and under experienced.
The good thing is that the individual candidate is in control of when they submit their QWE to the SRA. My advice time and time again is to not submit until you know you can secure an NQ role.
By some miracle, I received FF WG invite. I applied on deadline.
