What are the opportunities for Queen Mary University students? (7 part of the interview)
♪

Svetlana Casatkin: Okay. Tell me about the job, if you've had any attempts to catch up, get a job. Well, you said that even the British can't go after the baccalaureate. How does this legal process even look?

Eugenia Katico: This is the way in which an alien has to go to school first. Schools are very expensive. That's why we need to find an employer who would agree to sponsor you during your training. The training takes two or three years. And under the contract you make with the firm, you're going to internship with this firm. Depending on the contract, additional funding can be obtained and such proposals are very difficult to find. I mean, we need a first class honours degree on undergraduate, we need deep knowledge, because the interview is very serious. Even in Russia, British firms show how serious these interviews are. You can stay in position, let's say, paralygal. In order to work as a paralygal, you don't have to get...

Svetlana Casatkin: The paralygal is who?

Paraligal is an assistant, a lawyer. I mean, working as an assistant would never be a lawyer. I mean, there's nowhere to go.

Svetlana Casatkin: So there's no growth? You always gonna be an assistant?

Eugenia Katico: Yes, assistant. This doesn't require this school. Pay some 40,000 pounds a year. Well, actually...

Svetlana Casatkin: Parligal pay?

Paralygala, yes. So someone agrees, someone's not. But again, the contest for this paralygala position is very big, because it's also an opportunity to remain a lawyer. So, a lawyer in London.

Svetlana Casatkin: Have you considered this opportunity?

Eugenia Katico: I didn't consider myself because I really wanted to go back to Moscow for that period. I somehow thought I loved Moscow.
