Welcome to episode 2 of our careers miniseries and this time we’re discussing the topic currently on every penultimate student’s mind: CLERKSHIPS, and possible alternatives.
Join Tamsyn and Nick as they sit down with Vivienne Davis, who completed a clerkship last year, and Bridget Dawson, who was a paralegal at the Crown Solicitor’s Office, as they discuss all the secret tips and tricks to nailing their application processes. Both our guests for this episode will share their experiences and advice, providing some great insights for the (hopefully) future clerks and paralegals listening!
