    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    That’s really helpful, thank you! My other vacation schemes weren’t on my application as I hadn’t secured them before being invited to this TC interview so will mention them in the way you said above if I do get asked at interview! Thanks again!

    Hi Jessica, If I'm asked 'where else have you applied/how are your other applications going?' obviously I will be truthful (and I know generally they ask this to see if we have applied to other similar kinds of firms/practice areas to see our motivations for that kind of law/firm) but on the...

    in-house training contracts

    NBCUniversal do in house training contracts but you have to have worked there already (generally as a paralegal) for a while first! I think in general, in house TCs don't sponsor the LPC, but this will obviously all change as the SQE comes in.

    Confusion over GDPR controller vs processor

    From my understanding, as long as company B is using the data solely as instructed by company A, then it will be a processor. If company B does anything with the data beyond what it has been instructed to by company A, eg using the personal data collected for marketing of its own products, then...

There are PLENTY of free ones online and when you run out of those there are PDF ones ( a little more faffy to do but can download) Cannot stress how much I think £90 would be a waste of your money...! For quite a few firms I’ve had WG questions come up...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey, I’m in the same boat and so I totally sympathise. If it’s any consolation it was obviously a generic email, and the part about applying earlier was phrased a bit weirdly and almost implied it was our fault (not the corona virus lol) that meant we were in this situation? Please be so proud...
