same! last week they told me we r being considered for spring or summer but its crazy- still no VI or PFOwaiting post-app winter lol
I worked as a paralegal for one year after graduating and my interview questions were standard competency ones (time-management, successfully prioritising tasks, teamwork, etc) and then some which were more specific to the organisation. I think most firms will understand (especially if you have come from a law degree like I did) that the goal is ultimately to qualify and gain a traineeship somewhere. Many of the paralegals I worked alongside were in the same position. Personally I was not asked about this at interview.Hi everyone, I have seen a couple people mention paralegal roles they have been in/current are in and was wondering what a paralegal interview would look like in terms of format and question-types.
I just graduated and I am scared they will ask why I want to be a paralegal (when in reality it is for the work experience whilst I wait to successfully get a TC).
Any insights will be greatly appreciated thank you!

I really enjoyed being a paralegal and feel like it prepared me well / gave me extra confidence for the VS I did. I think it’s good to not just view it as a means to an end but to really make the most of the experience and practical skills you will learn. The firm I have a TC offer at also gave many incoming trainees from my intake paralegal roles for the year between receiving the offer and starting because it makes the transition easier. This isn’t where I worked though.
I can’t speak for every firm but that was my experience![]()
