I've heard that a few people have received offers, but a lot of people haven't heard back yet

Everyone starts somewhere. I've known a few people who went to paralegal at big international/US firms with no prior experience and absolutely killed it. If they've invited you to interview, they're not too fussed about experience levels - they've seen your CV. They'll want to see a willingness to learn and evidence that you can come up to speed quickly (these were key focuses in my recent US firm paralegal interview, even with my relatively hefty prior experience in-house and in general corporate roles). If you can show that, you'll be stood in good stead.

Thank you for your advice @Rob93! I was really doubting my self-confidence a couple of days before the interview. I haven't been active on the forum in the past few days, as I was preparing for this interview - sorry for the late reply. They've invited me back for a second round of interviews with two London based partners 😍 I'm not sure what to expect in terms of questions, but I assume they will be assessing me on the same stuff.

Guys,

Could you suggest some resources to learn about crypto? I need to prepare some material for a workshop and my small brain needs something very easy to understand.
Love you all

There's a really great podcast episode on Spotify with BrightNetwork and Chris Stoakes (author of 'All You Need to Know About the City') called 'Thinking Commercially' where he breakdowns blockchain, NFTs and their implications on the legal sphere. The podcast is great on the whole to improve knowledge and stay up to date! I'll link it below:

Episode 13 - balancing the UK economy, NFTs, China's property market & the pub

Listen to this episode from Thinking Commercially on Spotify. It's a brand new year and in this episode of Thinking Commercially, Chris and Ben discuss how the UK can find balance in the economy, NFTs and why it's a popular investment, China's property market's recent troubles and what's next...

Anyone have any idea what BCLP's first round interview is like? Is it commercial/competency?

 

[cecily78900]

I am thinking of applying for a paralegal role at the same firm that I am waiting for an answer from for a vacation scheme application (post-app - I have not been invited to interview yet). Is this ok? - would it have any impact on my vacation scheme application?
