You're anxious because you care and want to work hard to convert it into a TC. Relax, you've done well to get that far! Have self confidence and faith in your abilities and it will more than likely come across to the staff who are supervising you- FM302989

Work experience in big international law firm OR Paralegalling | HELP
Two weeks for an unpaid position where you may well be limited to admin is not substantial. Get to work, if you can, and start building up genuine experience in time, and start seeing what areas you like- FM302989

Leaving a TC - advice needed!
I would finish your TC then explore new opportunities in an NQ sphere. The majority of people have less than glamorous trainee experiences so you're not alone, me included. Don't give up!- FM302989

To be honest, I started applying for smaller/mid-size firms rather than 'BigLaw'.
