Hello! Congratulations to everyone that has secured a TC and VS recently! Just wondering if anyone has any advice, I have an assessment centre next week for a paralegal role with Clifford Chance. The AC consists of two written tasks. Does anyone have any insight to what they may be or any advice on how to do well? I have never done a written exercise or been to a AC before so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Congratulations Ruth!
Following on from @Alice G’s points above, I think it’s important to bear in mind who the reader is. For example, if you’re writing a letter to a client, they’ll want to see that you’re able to speak concisely and clearly without using complex legal terminology.
Also, if possible, give yourself time to plan out a clear structure. Maybe start by signposting what you’re going to be speaking about, depending on what the exercise is, and lay out your work in paragraphs so it’s easy for the assessors to understand. The easier you make it for them, the better
