In December 2014, a friend of mine who worked elsewhere told me about a secretarial trainee course that A&A offered. I’d been unemployed for a month, so I took a chance. I was called for an interview in January 2015 and … I started training in March 2015, in November

I was given a permanent position as a legal secretary and my interest in law grew from thereon.

Two years later I decided to enrol for a Paralegal qualification which I finished in record time while working full time, while doing that I got a promotion to higher level legal secretary. I graduated during Covid which was disheartening because of lockdown.

Nine years later in the company I am glad to say I have been a paralegal for two years and continue growing the company.
