Has anyone still not heard back from W&C post VI in Winter 😆
When firms ask about a recent deal that interests you, what time frame does 'recent' refer to? Within the last 12 months or so?
same! last week they told me we r being considered for spring or summer but its crazy- still no VI or PFO
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.
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

Me too!! So, so excited!

HFW AC. Slightly annoyed we have to do a critical reasoning test but oh well. Beggars can't be choosers lol...
I booked on the 28th of January, before it starts to get busy with uniMe too!! So, so excited!

it is sadly
Ffs. I was good at that test on my first cycle, but this cycle I’ve been not doing as well. Looks like I’ll need to bite the bullet and buy the JobTestPrep kit or something.
Does anyone else have any WG prep websites they use? I’ve already used the Clifford Chance free test quite a few times. I’m scoring 80%+ in those but was only in the 32nd percentile when I did the Linklaters test.
