So I’ve had one week work experience as a solicitor and to be honest there really isn’t much to tell. I sat at a desk for a week, read proofing witness statements and filing correspondences. All I can say is that every evening at quarter past six when I got home I fell flat on my face from a long day at work. I know people do work a 9-5 job on a daily basis, and I have done it before but after not having to be up until late, it takes it out of you for sure.
Unfortunately, I’ve had to cancel my week at RBS and will continue working as a solicitor for my second week experience because I won’t be allowed to do any work at Royal Bank of Scotland. They told me I will be making notes and observing. Hardly fulfilling the meaning of “Work experience’.
One thing I did learn during my week after having re-drafted a 21 page letter 18 times this week, is how to create a word document correctly, if there is a way of doing so.
Until next time
