Hey guys, this isn’t regarding VSs or TCs but I just secured my first paralegal role!!! Ahhh!!

I feel like it’s been such a hard journey, applying to full time jobs and TCs, but I’ve never felt so proud of myself for sticking it through, even if it’s just an entry level role!

I wanted to share this because in the last few months, I’ve felt so low and hopeless. I’ve even contemplated giving up on commercial law because I didn’t feel like I was good enough.

this small success has made me feel so much better and I’m so excited!!! It really just shows that resilience is so important, and we will all feel this when we secure TCs!!!
