You are awesome the arbiter validation certification administration regulators will be opening millions of careers installing NICER AUP forgery proof, permission validation ledger interdiction living trust, counterfeit free legacy transfer.

Thanks for the detailed video, but the main aim of a lawyer should be to create justice and not revenue. It is a very ‚psychologically underdeveloped‘ way of thinking which these law firms seem to have? Not fit for a modern, fair world.
Do you get exams for the elective modules? Or is it just the core module which is assessed?
there are no exams for electives on the PSC, you just attend (usually virtually) and barely participate and thats it
Only 5% of the worlds population gets their job on line. It’s connections, who you know and right place/right time.
I am a law student in India want to apply for paralegal jobs how should I try please suggest
So i got my degree for paralegal studies back in 2019, i then got pregnant, never started to work as a paralegal. Its been 3 years n Im ready to go back to work but how can i if i have no experience! i have my degree but not experience 😢

Great video! I will be starting my paralegal journey soon, and I will definitely use this video as reference to help me get started.
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Fab example about lateral hiring. So rare to hear people talk about this in commercial awareness content!
Thanks Aks! Hope you found this video helpful 😊
Legendary video
Out of all the tips, imo the mindset tip is the most vital. As a first year, im ensuring that my mindset is positive and i enjoy the process and not get lost in the "i have to get a tc" mindset.
Really useful video and great advice. Thank you! 🙂
Yay! You're welcome
@@shannontongg hi,tong

Very interesting! I’ve never thought deeply about how firms run before. Insightful video and easy to understand information! Thank you😀
hi, can you please make a video on how to make a good CV and cover letter applying as paralegal in a law firm. would be grateful.
Hi Nisha, great idea. I have some tips for this in my ‘how to get your first job’ video. Maybe I’ll do a more detailed video in the future!
Just added noise cancelling headphones to my Xmas list 😍
Love this video! might get gift #1 and #3 for myself 😂
Treat yourself!! 💅🏼

Love this video! Not a law student, but obsessed with all things stationary! Also, I've been using my Eastpak bag for 9+ years and it's still holding up strong!! P.S. loving the festive jumper! <3

How would you use your international background in an application? For example, I am trying to link my international background with the firm offering a guaranteed international secondment, but I am unsure as to how to structure this. Any help?
Perhaps you could explain how much you have learnt from moving to a new country/cultural environment for your degree, and that you are keen to recreate that experience by doing an international secondment, so that you can maximise your development as a trainee.
Totally agree with the power of networking! I got offered 2 paralegal jobs through networking and it has been such a great learning experience. Also, being a law student working as a paralegal in a top tier firm, the imposter syndrome is definitely real, hopefully one day I will be just as confident as you when I start my training contract!
That is amazing you secured your roles through networking! I very much relate to your comments about imposter syndrome - I felt the same when I worked at a firm as a student! Confidence is definitely something that has come with time for me. I have written an article about building confidence if you are interested - inhousepotter.com/developing-confidence-in-law/
Hi Shannon, this was great, thank you! I'm trying to find out more about remote working possibilities for aspiring solicitors, in light of the new SQE/QWE pathway - do you think it will be possible to work from home as a trainee? P.S I'm looking forward to your APIL webinar on Thursday!
Hi Siobhan! I definitely think it is a possibility, different employers have different policies in relation to remote working, I am personally able to choose where I want to work, so I could only work from home if that was my preference. See you at the webinar :)
Amazing video, Shannon! We're really really loving your content and the minute and can't wait to see more 👀
Thank you so much 🥰 lots more exciting things to come ✨
Love this! I started as a legal administrator in June and I'm enjoying it so much. I think it will really help when I start my degree next year too! 😁
Awesome! An administrator role is such a good one to start your career with - I feel like it really helped me understand how a firm works, and learn about legal documents without the pressure of fee earning!
heyy did you make a course? Id like to get into the legal field as a receptionist do you think that is possible?
@@shannontongg I could listen to you speak allllllll day. So jealous! Planning to move to Brighton Hove area but it will take me awhile. Hate it here
Thank you so much, so helpful :)
Very useful, thank you so much. Do keep it up please!
Thank you! I’m glad the video is helpful ☺️
What advice would you have for a non-law student during application season? I study Linguistics and French at a Russel Group uni but I have zero legal background and Im sooo lost :(. What expectations do you think they'll have of me?
Hi! If you are applying to law firms, they won’t expect you to have any legal knowledge, although it would of course help if you had some kind of legal experience! I would recommend looking to attend law fairs (either virtual ones or one run by your university) and applying for open days at firms in October time. These events will help you start getting more of an idea of how the application process works and the expectations. There are also lots of resources available to help you online. I have shared some of my fav online platforms here: instagram.com/p/CRTnygPpSfN/?
@@shannontongg Thank you! I've been sppllying to events but was lacking insider resources, so those links are very much appreciated:)
This was so incredibly helpful for a completely clueless newbie like me. Thank you so much!
No problem, I’m so happy you found it helpful ❤️
Hello, this is a kind greeting from Taiwan. Thanks for your incredible sharing. I enjoy it a lot and glad to know more about the law industry in the UK. Stay safe and take care:)
