I Got Hired: Gina

Posted on: 23 November 2024 by Ruby O'Sullivan in Class of 2023

Gina Veall is a Class of 2023 LLB Law graduate who now works as an Estates Disputes Paralegal at Eastwood Law, Australia.

How did you hear about your role and decide to apply for it?

I moved to Australia shortly after graduation and saw the position advertised on Seek. Eastwood Law had been involved in some major cases in this area of law in Western Australia, and I thought I could learn a lot there.

How did you get to where you are now?

I thought I would travel for a few months and the return to the UK, one year later and I’m still in Perth having worked at two brilliant Law Firms!

Your favourite experience in your role?

Seeing the relief in our clients when we deliver good news and working as part of such a great team.                

The most challenging part of your graduate journey?

Moving to Australia wasn’t easy. The visa restrictions are difficult, and I often felt I was in a losing battle looking for work, there were times I felt I should just go home. I didn’t give up and have now learnt so much on both a personal and professional level.             

Top 3 Tips for current students and graduates:

  1. Say yes.
  2. Don’t be afraid to say you don’t know.
  3. Don’t compare your journey after university to others, everyone is different.
