I am trying to find her page on UA-cam but apparently it is deleted
it's not, i literally watched one of her videos 2 days ago
Ok can i ask you is it possible for you to obtain employment affter yiur ibternational secondment
yes some people in my cohort chose to qualify in the place where they went to on secondment
@@SuccessWithSteph ahhh ok so that would mean that they stayvthere and complete the rest of thier training contract or they come back and then relcoate thier?
Sorry, are you working in commercial law corporate law?
at the time I was in Debt finance. Now i'm in capital markets
Hi. the content is great but you talk too fast. My English is very good but I struggle to follow. even transcription does not come up correctly.Please speak slowly and more clear so more people can benefit. thanks.
Noted!
smal cohort = more resonsiblilty room to grow, d=take on larger. cases
yup agree
Great video 💯🥰
Hi, Is LPC better at ULaw or BPP? What do you think please
I've only been at BPP so can only speak from that perspective but I guess any reputable school is good.
By the way your hair looks great💯
thanks!
Thank you Steph this is really helpful. God definitely led me to your channel! I am from UK going to be in Houston soon can you recommend a good church? 😊🙏🏽🇬🇧
Trinity East United Methodist Church was my fave, but I tried Grace church too and enjoyed it
@SuccessWithSteph that sounds amazing thank you will definitely check them out😊
Do you wish you got the all inclusive package Instead of bed and breakfast?
Nah I enjoyed being able to explore different foods
Thank you so much on sharing your detailed experience to the public! much help and true insight that wouldn't have been delivered without the advanced technology and most importantly your effort and will. thanks again and please keep on making good vids!
thanks!
great detailed vlog!!
Thank you!!
Loved the vlog ✨

Hi Steph, My name is Yvonne and I’m Ghanaian. I’m interested in studying Law in the UK. I’ve done some research already but I will be glad if you can connect with me so I can get like a personal/ one on one interaction with you while I work on my applications 🙏.
Happy to connect on instagram: successwstephuk
Thanks for the video Steph! I would very much appreciate your advice. I'm currently 24 and have the choice of starting the PGDL now or in one year. If I chose to delay it, I could get an extra qualification in project management and go travelling a bit but it would delay me by one year and would mean I qualify at the age of 29 instead of 28... my question is-will I be much older compared to everyone else ? Will this slow down my career? I also am not 100% sure yet that I want to do law ... maybe 75% sure so perhaps an extra year is needed to think about options even if getting law work experience is incredibly hard for the position I'm in! Any guidance would be much appreciated!
The average age of qualifying as a solicitor in the uK is 30 for men and 29 for women so I wouldn't worry at all. Aside from that I wouldn't generally put to much focus on "slowing down" a career, even if you qualified at 35 or 50 it would still be great especially if you aren't actually 100% on law yet
Hey but what area of law are u practising in
Capital markets
Really enjoyed that one Steph! Would love to see more content like this
this is the most thorough and informative video I've found on cover letters! Thank you SO so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi steph thankyou so much has been so helpful. Can you explain abit more what is the bottom of the tabs
My tabs were done in order of how questions would be answered so the bottom tabs represented the final aspects of questions that would be answered
Thank you for sharing! Extremely helpful
Glad you found it helpful!
Two incredible Black women! We love to see it 🤍👏🏾🏆
Thank you!
What kind of folders did you use ? So were your notes only the SGS outcomes ? So instead of taking lecture notes you only take notes based on the SGS ?
I just had basic folders (from Wilko's I believe) but any ringbinder folder should be fine. And yes that's correct re notes
Just came across your channel - enjoyed the blog and very useful. How has your firm viewed you doing UA-cam- is this something that they are generally accepting of?
They've been fine with it
very helpful, thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Incredible content 💗
Thanks!
Excellent !!!!
Glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing, appreciate it
Glad you enjoyed it
What about Practical Legal Research?
I didn't do that during my LPC
Hey Steph how are you love your blog , please can you help me I’m also trying to move to Houston but I have a business and marketing management degrees and I don’t know where to look for people hiring from the UK
Hey, so I tranferred through work as we have an office out in Houston so I'd say maybe look for global companies that have both a UK presence and a Houston presence
