    I completely agree, it's quite a difficult decision to make! I liked all 3 firms tbh

    1 firm specialises in commercial law and the other in personal injury - I've very torn between the 3 :/

    Does anyone know what technical questions could be asked in an interview? I have 2 interviews coming up, 1 is a paralegal role and the other is for a TC so any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Paralegal Interview

    Just read on their current vacancies page that if you haven't heard back from them within 6 weeks of the app deadline, then you've been unsuccessful. So I'm guessing I too have been unsuccessful. Ahhh damn it. I received an email on 01 June saying they'll provide you with an update but I got...
