Her words:

"We went to about 8 law firms today. Some weren't recruiting , but some promised to get back to us after submitting our CV. BUT one particular law firm stood out.

"The principal introduced us to his senior associates, made us comfortable, and he told us that he would only work with us if his associates were willing to. He talked about training, cracked jokes, and gave us transport money.

"Everyone seemed nice, including the secretary. Secretaries didn't make the work easy. They kept rejecting us before oga."
