How can i stand out. Despite having experience and the skills needed, im still not getting selected. My name is anthony chinedu. I have found that the requirments for training contract roles suggest the need for organisational skills, an individual whom enjoys administration and coordination as well as someone who works well as part of a team, whilst i enjoy the smaller parts of the legal system, my aim is to graft as much as possible, and become a solicitor, and becoming a paralegal with barnes law would be the next step in my career.
Firstly, I am first aid trained, thereby creating an individual who not only works well with others but is also organised, as a first aid trained individual i can not only work well with others but also organise a safe enviroment to save lives. Additionally i was a semifinalist in the 2025 essex client interviewing competition, which backs up my organisational and team working skills, as i was a member of a team whom had the task of organising administrative tasks and questions to ask clients.
I am also german speaking level1 learner, french A2 speaker.
Based on experience backgrounds and what would perpare me for the role, i have always sought competition, with the aim of becoming a solicitor. First as the 2017 premiere academy debate champion, basketball gold medalist 2019. Additionally i have devoted myself to literary and artistic pursuits through poetry, which has a strong link to cognative ability and percission.
In terms of legal experience, that endevour began with
kennedys law llp, through a paralegal training programme, creating the perfect foundation for legal knowledge, whilst attending the university of essex.
I was able to learn more from the essex law stars, which created a guided line of though for the various issues which could be addressed in the real world. Next i was granted the opportunity to work with support through court (in-house legal charity) focusing on litigation at the county court, whilst working with the organisation i maintained and supported client intrests, both in person and at court hearings preperations , legal document drafting and in person conversations, scheduling client meetings, exchange of emails about their cases through official channels.
Additionally i was able to organise complex court bundles containing (d11, d84, c100 forms), these would mostly contain documents, images and police records, completed before the courts set trial date across family and civil courts.
Recently i have been granted the opportunity to participate in a Forage paralegal training programme, concerning stakeholder and shareholder responsibilty relating to the objects of a new aquisition of a seperate company. Granting me even more experience in corperate and commercial law
These are just a few factors which makes me adequately suited to join the team.
Many thanks
Anthony chinedu
