My academic background, including a First Class LLB and an MCL from the University of Cambridge, alongside practical experience preparing litigation documents and conducting legal research, has confirmed my strong interest in contentious work. I am particularly drawn to the chance to support senior fee earners on complex matters while continuing to develop my drafting, organisation and case management skills in a busy litigation environment. Kate Yong CV If you want, I can also: make it slightly stronger for LinkedIn applications, or create a shorter version (3–4 lines) which sometimes performs better for recruiters. Sources They are recruiter for a law firm Since this is for a recruiter representing the firm, it’s better not to say “your firm is my top choice” because the recruiter isn’t the firm itself. Instead, refer to the opportunity/role. Here’s a more natural version: This opportunity particularly appeals to me as it closely aligns with the litigation experience I have developed through my recent internship at Duan & Duan UK LLP, where I assisted with drafting particulars of claim, witness statements and supporting case management across commercial and employment disputes. Alongside a First Class LLB and an MCL from the University of Cambridge, I have developed strong research, drafting and organisational skills which I am keen to apply in a busy litigation environment. The chance to support senior fee earners while gaining further exposure to a varied caseload is exactly the type of experience I am looking for at this stage of my career. Kate Yong CV If you'd like, I can also give you a slightly punchier version that recruiters tend to prefer on LinkedIn (around 70–90 words). Sources Maybe also highlight my mini pupillages which exposed me to litigation experiences as well and also show that my litigations experiences indicates my strong interest in litigation Here is a concise and natural version that incorporates your mini-pupillages and clear interest in litigation: This opportunity particularly appeals to me as my academic and practical experience has developed a strong interest in litigation. During my litigation internship at Duan & Duan UK LLP, I assisted with drafting particulars of claim, witness statements and supporting case management across commercial and employment disputes. In addition, through mini-pupillages at several chambers, I observed a wide range of hearings and trials and gained valuable insight into how disputes progress through the courts. Alongside my First Class LLB and MCL from the University of Cambridge, these experiences have strengthened my drafting, research and organisational skills, and I am keen to continue developing them within a busy litigation team. Kate Yong CV Sources The job description is as below: We are working with a highly regarded city-based law firm who are seeking a paralegal to join litigation and dispute resolution team. The successful candidate will be joining a thriving department, whilst gaining invaluable experience of handling a varied caseload. You will be required to attend the office four days a week and work remotely for one day.

Applicants will have successfully completed a law degree or equivalent and will have gained significant litigation experience. Solid drafting skills are required coupled with the ability to work on multiple matters concurrently. First class organisational skills are paramount. Here is a tailored paragraph that directly reflects the job description while still sounding natural and concise: This opportunity strongly appeals to me as my academic and practical experience has developed a clear interest in litigation and dispute resolution. During my litigation internship at Duan & Duan UK LLP, I assisted with drafting particulars of claim, witness statements and other litigation documents while supporting case management across commercial and employment disputes. I also completed several mini-pupillages where I observed hearings and trials across different courts, which further strengthened my interest in contentious work and gave me insight into how disputes progress through the courts. Alongside my First Class LLB and MCL from the University of Cambridge, these experiences have developed my drafting, research and organisational skills, and I would be keen to support fee earners in progressing matters and managing deadlines across a varied caseload. Kate Yong CV Sources Do you think this paragraph is litigation focused enough? and instead of lisiting like particular of claim and witness statements, make it more general for recruiter because they are recruiting for law firms and they have my cv You’re right to think about this. For a recruiter, it’s usually better to: Emphasise your interest in litigation clearly Keep examples broader (since they already have your CV) Highlight transferable skills like drafting, case management, organisation, and exposure to court work Avoid listing specific documents unless it’s directly relevant Your previous paragraph was good, but it could sound more litigation-focused and less like a CV summary. Here’s a cleaner and stronger version: This opportunity particularly appeals to me as my academic and practical experience has developed a strong interest in litigation and dispute resolution. Through my litigation internship at Duan & Duan UK LLP, I supported solicitors on a range of contentious matters, assisting with legal research, drafting and case management. In addition, my mini-pupillages across several chambers gave me valuable exposure to court proceedings and the progression of disputes through the courts, further reinforcing my interest in contentious work. Alongside my First Class LLB and MCL from the University of Cambridge, these experiences have strengthened my drafting, organisational and analytical skills, and I would welcome the opportunity to continue developing them within a busy litigation team. Kate Yong CV Why this works better for recruiters: Clearly shows litigation focus References both internships and mini-pupillages Highlights skills the job description mentions (drafting, organisation, case management) Doesn’t repeat your CV details too heavily If you want, I can also show you a slightly more persuasive version that recruiters on LinkedIn tend to respond to more (it subtly signals you’re a strong candidate). Sources i can only have 400 characters, help With a 400-character limit, it needs to be very tight and focused. Here is a strong version (≈330 characters): This role particularly appeals to me as my academic and practical experience has developed a strong interest in litigation. Through a litigation internship and several mini-pupillages, I gained exposure to contentious matters, court proceedings and case preparation, and developed strong drafting, research and organisational skills which I am keen to build on in a litigation team. If you'd like, I can also give you 2–3 alternative versions that sound even more natural and less “application-like,” which often work better on LinkedIn recruiter forms. I am on Jamson Legal, uploading my cv for their consultation, can you write me a short message that is suitable according to my cv and the fact that i am actively searching for legal opportunities especially paralegal Here is a short, professional message suitable for a recruiter consultation submission: Dear Jameson Legal team, I am currently seeking paralegal opportunities, particularly within litigation and dispute resolution.

I have also gained practical experience through legal internships and mini-pupillages across several practice areas.

I hold a First Class LLB, an MCL from the University of Cambridge, and achieved First Quintile in SQE1. I have also gained practical experience through legal internships and mini-pupillages across several practice areas, and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss suitable roles. other than paralegal, are there any other legal roles that i could try Based on your CV (First Class LLB, Cambridge MCL, SQE1 First Quintile, internships, mini-pupillages), you’re actually competitive for several entry-level legal roles beyond paralegal. Here are the most realistic ones recruiters often place candidates like you into: 1. Legal Assistant Very similar to a paralegal but sometimes more administrative and client-facing. Typical work: Supporting fee earners with documents and research Corresponding with clients and third parties Managing case files and deadlines Good because: easier entry and often converts to paralegal internally. 2. Litigation Assistant A specialist version of legal assistant focused on disputes. Typical work: Preparing court bundles Case management support Liaising with courts and counsel Good because: very aligned with your mini-pupillages and litigation exposure. 3. Case Assistant Common in US firms and large international firms. Typical work: Legal research Document review Trial preparation Good because: firms like academically strong candidates (Cambridge + SQE). 4. Compliance / Risk Analyst (Legal) Many law graduates move into this in law firms or financial institutions. Typical work: Regulatory research AML/KYC checks Risk assessments Good because: very good pay and easier to get initially. 5. Document Review Lawyer / Paralegal Often temporary roles in litigation or investigations. Typical work: Reviewing evidence and disclosure documents Using platforms like Relativity Good because: Good exposure to large disputes Often leads to longer-term litigation roles. 6. Legal Researcher / Knowledge Paralegal More academic/research-focused. Typical work: Case law research Preparing internal notes and updates for lawyers Good because: fits well with your research experience and Cambridge background. 7. Legal Project Assistant In large firms managing complex matters. Typical work: Tracking deadlines Document organisation Supporting large litigation/arbitration matters. Best targets for you specifically: Paralegal Litigation Assistant Case Assistant (US firms especially) Legal Assistant These align most with your internships, mini-pupillages, and litigation exposure. Important tip: When applying, search LinkedIn/Indeed for: Paralegal Litigation Assistant Legal Assistant Case Assistant Junior Paralegal These often overlap but are posted under different titles.

Is there any other ways This is actually very common in London. Many paralegal roles receive hundreds of applications, and a lot are filled through recruiters or referrals, not job boards. The best approach is usually a combination of 5 strategies rather than just applying online. 1. Work With Legal Recruiters (Most Effective) Many paralegal jobs in London are never advertised publicly. Good agencies that regularly place paralegals: Jameson Legal Ryder Reid Legal EJ Legal Montresor Legal Career Legal Taylor Root What works best: Upload your CV to their website Message recruiters on LinkedIn directly Ask for a 15-minute call Example message: Dear [Name], I recently passed SQE1 in the First Quintile and hold a First Class LLB and MCL from Cambridge. I am currently seeking paralegal opportunities in London and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about any suitable roles. Recruiters often prioritise strong academic candidates like you. 2. Apply Directly on Law Firm Websites Many firms prefer direct applicants. Target firms like: Silver Circle firms US firms in London Mid-tier City firms Boutique litigation firms Search for “Careers → Paralegal / Legal Assistant” pages. 3. LinkedIn Cold Outreach (Highly Underrated) Instead of only applying, contact people directly. Search on LinkedIn: Paralegal Graduate Recruitment Legal Recruitment Manager Send a short message. Example: Dear [Name], I recently passed SQE1 in the First Quintile and hold a First Class LLB and an MCL from Cambridge. I am currently seeking paralegal opportunities in London and would greatly appreciate any advice or consideration for suitable roles within your team. Even 1–2 replies can lead to interviews. 4. Look for Temporary Paralegal Roles Many candidates enter firms through temp roles first. Common titles: Document Review Paralegal Litigation Assistant Temporary Paralegal Case Assistant These often convert to permanent roles. 5. Use Niche Legal Job Boards Better than general sites like Indeed. Try: The Lawyer jobs board Legal Cheek jobs page TotallyLegal Important Reality in London Even strong candidates sometimes need 100–150 applications. But your profile is actually very strong: First Class LLB Cambridge MCL SQE1 First Quintile Litigation internships Mini-pupillages You should definitely be getting interviews if the strategy is right. One thing might be the problem: Your CV may look too academic and not “paralegal-optimised.” Recruiters prefer CVs that highlight: drafting case management litigation support deadlines court exposure If you want, I can also show you: the fastest way people with your profile get paralegal jobs in London (many candidates miss this) 5 firms that regularly hire junior paralegals without prior full-time experience. what recruiters from linked in would you recommend me to reach out to and who Here are some LinkedIn recruiters who regularly place paralegals in London and are worth reaching out to. I’ve included why they’re useful for someone with your profile (strong academics + SQE1 + internships). 1. Emma Delli‑Bovi – Ryder Reid Legal Why contact her: Ryder Reid places a lot of paralegals in US law firms in London, including litigation and corporate teams. Good for: US firms Case assistant / paralegal roles Temp → permanent opportunities 2. Gemma Davies – EJ Legal Why contact her: EJ Legal is one of the most active paralegal recruiters in London. Good for: City firms Litigation paralegal roles Graduate-level legal roles 3. George Wilson – Jameson Legal Why contact him: Jameson Legal works with top City and international firms and often recruits paralegals with strong academics. Good for: High-quality City firms Candidates with strong academic profiles 4. Philippa Gardner – Montresor Legal Why contact her: Montresor recruits heavily for litigation, arbitration and investigations teams. Good for: Dispute resolution roles Boutique litigation firms 5. Shona Crabb – Career Legal Why contact her: Career Legal places many junior paralegals and legal assistants. Good for: Entry-level roles Legal assistant → paralegal routes How to message them (important) Recruiters respond better to short, direct messages. Example: Dear [Name], I hope you are well. I recently passed SQE1 in the First Quintile and hold a First Class LLB and an MCL from the University of Cambridge. I have also gained experience through litigation internships and mini-pupillages, and I am currently seeking paralegal opportunities in London. I would be grateful for the opportunity to connect and discuss any suitable roles. One important tip Don’t message only 1–2 recruiters. The best strategy is: message 10–15 legal recruiters upload your CV to their websites follow up after 1 week This dramatically increases replies. If you want, I can also show you: the 15 recruiters in London who place the most paralegals every year (this list is much more powerful). how to optimise your LinkedIn profile so recruiters contact you instead of you chasing them. should i send them my cv or no Yes — you should send your CV, but not as the first thing in the message unless they ask or LinkedIn allows an attachment easily. The best approach depends on the situation. Best approach on LinkedIn 1️⃣ First message (short introduction) Send a short message without the CV first: Dear [Name], I hope you are well. I recently passed SQE1 in the First Quintile and hold a First Class LLB and an MCL from the University of Cambridge. I am currently seeking paralegal opportunities in London and would welcome the chance to discuss any suitable roles you may be recruiting for. This is better because recruiters: get many messages prefer a quick intro first 2️⃣ If they reply Then send: Thank you for your reply. I have attached my CV for your reference and would be very grateful for any suitable opportunities you may have. Attach your CV. 3️⃣ Exception (when you should attach immediately) If you are messaging through: recruiter email recruiter LinkedIn job post recruiter website submission Then always attach your CV immediately. Example: Dear [Name], I recently passed SQE1 in the First Quintile and hold a First Class LLB and an MCL from the University of Cambridge. I am currently seeking paralegal opportunities in London. I have attached my CV and would be grateful for your consideration. One very important tip When sending to recruiters, name your CV clearly: Kate_Yong_Paralegal_CV.pdf Not: CV.pdf Resume_ Recruiters download hundreds of CVs. Based on your profile, I actually think the issue might not be your qualifications but your job search strategy. With: Cambridge MCL First Class LLB SQE1 First Quintile litigation internships You should realistically be getting recruiter interest. If you'd like, I can also show you: the exact message that gets the highest reply rate from legal recruiters, and a hidden place where many London paralegal jobs are posted that most candidates never check. do i say hi gemma or hi davies Use “Hi Gemma”, not “Hi Davies.” In the UK (especially with recruiters), it’s normal and polite to address people by their first name, even in professional messages. Good examples Hi Gemma, Dear Gemma, (slightly more formal) Avoid Hi Davies (sounds strange in English) Dear Ms Davies (too formal for LinkedIn) Hello recruiter Best LinkedIn style I recommend: Hi Gemma, I hope you’re well. I recently passed SQE1 in the First Quintile and hold a First Class LLB and an MCL from the University of Cambridge. I’m currently seeking paralegal opportunities in London and would welcome the opportunity to discuss any suitable roles. Short and natural. Tip: Recruiters respond better to friendly and concise messages rather than overly formal ones. If you'd like, I can also show you the exact LinkedIn message structure that gets the highest reply rate from legal recruiters (it’s slightly different from normal messages). if i graduated i cannot apply to judge and priestly vacation scheme anymore? Yes — generally you cannot apply to the Judge & Priestley vacation scheme if you have already graduated, because it is designed specifically for penultimate-year law students. The Judge & Priestley LLP vacation scheme is typically open to: Penultimate-year law students, or Non-law students in their final year Once you have graduated, you normally become ineligible for their vacation scheme. What you can apply for instead If you’ve already graduated, firms like Judge & Priestley usually expect you to apply for: Training contracts Paralegal roles Occasionally legal assistant roles Many graduates first work as paralegals and then apply for the firm’s training contract internally. Tip Even if you missed the vacation scheme, you can still apply for their training contract directly if they accept graduates. If you want, I can also show you 10 UK law firms that still allow graduates to apply for their vacation schemes (some firms do). but my cv is corporate, litigation and commercial focused so if i apply for residential conveyancing paralegal would that be okay Yes — it is completely okay to apply for a residential conveyancing paralegal role even if your CV is corporate, litigation, and commercial focused. This happens very often in London. However, there are two things you should do to make the application stronger. 1. Show you are genuinely open to property work Recruiters worry that candidates will leave quickly if their background is unrelated. You just need to show interest in learning. Example line for an application or message: While my previous experience has focused on corporate and litigation matters, I am keen to broaden my experience and develop practical knowledge in residential property work, particularly in a client-facing and transaction-based environment. 2. Highlight transferable skills Conveyancing firms care about: organisation attention to detail handling documents communicating with clients managing deadlines You already have these from: litigation internships legal research drafting case preparation Important reality in London Many lawyers actually start in conveyancing or property even if they later move into other areas. Recruiters know: graduates need their first legal job experience in any legal environment is valuable One thing to consider If your goal is commercial firms, try not to stay in conveyancing too long (1–2 years) because it can be harder to move back into corporate/litigation later. But for a first role, it is perfectly fine. My honest advice for your situation: Apply for: Paralegal (any area) Litigation assistant Legal assistant Conveyancing paralegal Case assistant Your first legal role is the hardest to get, but once you have 6–12 months experience, opportunities increase dramatically. If you want, I can also tell you one strategy many law graduates in London use to get their first paralegal job much faster (almost no one talks about this). i realised vacation scheme for judge and preistly does not require interview, is there any other vaction scheme like that Short answer: very few vacation schemes in the UK skip interviews entirely. What you noticed with Judge & Priestley LLP is quite unusual. Why most firms have interviews Most law firms use multiple recruitment stages such as: application form online tests video interview assessment centre These are used before offering a vacation scheme place. Because vacation schemes are a main route to training contracts, firms normally want to assess candidates carefully before offering a place. Firms with relatively simpler processes Even if they still have interviews, some firms have much lighter recruitment processes than large City firms. Examples: Regional / mid-size firms These sometimes rely mostly on the application form + one interview: Irwin Mitchell Shoosmiths Browne Jacobson Freeths Gateley These are much easier application processes than Magic Circle firms. Another route many people overlook Instead of vacation schemes, some firms offer insight schemes / open days that may only require: application form sometimes no interview Examples include firms like Simmons & Simmons for certain early-insight programmes. These are easier to get and can help with training contract applications later. Important thing for you specifically Since you have already: Cambridge MCL First Class LLB SQE1 First Quintile internships You may actually be better off applying for: Direct training contracts Paralegal roles Direct TC interviews Many firms allow this route as well. One important thing: You may also still qualify for some vacation schemes as a graduate. Many firms allow graduates within 1–2 years after finishing university. If you want, I can also show you: 10 London law firms with the easiest vacation scheme applications (highest acceptance rates) firms where graduates still commonly apply to vacation schemes. is there any other law firms similar to judge and preistly Yes — there are several firms similar to Judge & Priestley LLP. Judge & Priestley is a mid-sized regional / high-street–to–City firm that does a mix of litigation, property, private client and commercial work rather than large international deals. Firms like this often have simpler recruitment processes and smaller vacation schemes. Here are some similar types of firms you could target. Firms similar to Judge & Priestley 1. Wedlake Bell LLP Very similar profile: mid-sized London firm strong private client, litigation and property work smaller trainee intake Good if you want City work but not Magic Circle competition. 2. Marriott Harrison LLP Known for: corporate disputes real estate Their schemes are usually smaller and less competitive than large firms. 3. Forsters LLP Focus: real estate private wealth disputes Good reputation for vacation schemes and trainee experience. 4. Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP Mid-tier international firm with strong: disputes commercial property Often more accessible than Magic Circle firms. 5.

This is the person i need to email to JANICE OKUNS Since you know the person’s name, it’s better to address her directly rather than saying “Hiring Team”.

I recently completed SQE1 with a First Quintile result and hold a First Class LLB and a Master of Corporate Law from the University of Cambridge.

I would be very grateful for the opportunity to be considered for any suitable roles. Kind regards, Kate Yong Small tip: When emailing HR at law firms, “Dear Ms Okuns” is safer than “Hi Janice” because it’s slightly more formal. If you'd like, I can also show you one sentence you could add that sometimes increases the chance HR actually forwards your CV internally to partners. How about Dear Janice Yes, “Dear Janice,” is perfectly fine and actually quite common in the UK, especially when emailing HR or recruiters. In practice: Dear Janice → polite, professional, and friendly Dear Ms Okuns → more formal but not necessary Hi Janice → slightly more casual (also acceptable) For a speculative application, “Dear Janice,” strikes a good balance. Your email should start like this: Subject: Speculative Application – Paralegal Position Dear Janice, I hope you are well. I am writing to enquire about any potential paralegal opportunities at Payne Hicks Beach. I recently completed SQE1 with a First Quintile result and hold a First Class LLB and a Master of Corporate Law from the University of Cambridge.

Kind regards, Kate Yong Uploaded image I uploaded this to sell my SQE notes on red note, i posted it yesterday but i think the interaction is slowing down. Should i post another post now and what post should i use Yes — you should post another post today. On 小红书 (RedNote), one post usually dies after ~24 hours, and people who sell notes often post multiple angles of the same content to reach new viewers. Your first post is good because it shows your First Quintile score, which builds credibility. But the next posts should target different motivations of buyers. Here are 3 posts that usually work very well for selling exam notes: 1️⃣ Post about your self-study strategy (very attractive) Students are curious how you got First Quintile by self-study. Title (under 20 characters): 自学SQE1 First Quintile经验 Post text: 很多人问我是怎么自学通过SQE1并拿到First Quintile的 我当时主要是按照syllabus整理知识框架，然后做题+不断补充笔记 整个复习过程中我整理了一套非常详细的SQE1笔记，基本覆盖所有考试范围 如果有准备SQE1的朋友对笔记感兴趣，可以评论或者私信我～ Why this works: not salesy builds authority people DM you. 2️⃣ Post showing the thickness / structure of your notes People want to see value. Title: SQE1完整笔记结构分享 Text: 这是我自学准备SQE1时整理的笔记结构 笔记是按照SQE syllabus整理的，每个科目都有详细总结和重点整理 对我复习的时候帮助很大，也帮助我拿到了First Quintile 如果有需要SQE1笔记的朋友可以私信我了解～ 3️⃣ Post about SQE difficulty This attracts students searching SQE content. Title: SQE1真的很难吗？ Text: 很多人问SQE1到底难不难 我自己是自学准备，然后一次通过拿到First Quintile 我觉得最重要的是整理好知识框架和重点 我当时整理了一套完整的SQE1笔记，如果有需要可以私信我～ Important tips (very important for RedNote) 1️⃣ Post 1–2 times per day Many people selling notes post daily. 2️⃣ Use these hashtags Add these every post: #SQE #SQE1 #SQE备考 #SQE笔记 #英国律师 #法律留学生 #法学生 3️⃣ Always end with 欢迎评论或私信我 This increases DMs. One more tip (very powerful) Your profile bio is good, but you should add one selling sentence: Example: SQE1 自学 First Quintile 出售完整 SQE1 备考笔记 有需要请私信 This turns your profile into a sales funnel. If you want, I can also show you 3 types of posts that go viral for people selling exam notes on 小红书. Many people selling IELTS/SQE/CPA notes use these and get 10× more DMs. Uploaded image My first post was this, write me another suitable description and can i use the same pictures again Yes, you can reuse the same pictures. On 小红书 many people selling notes reuse the same proof-of-score screenshot multiple times because: it builds credibility new users may see your second post but never saw the first one the algorithm shows posts to different audiences However, change the caption and angle so it doesn’t look repetitive. Suggested second post Title (≤20 characters) SQE1自学经验分享 Description 很多朋友私信问我是怎么自学通过SQE1并拿到First Quintile的 我当时复习的方式是按照SQE syllabus把所有知识点重新整理成一套完整的笔记，这样复习的时候逻辑会非常清晰，也更容易记住重点 这些笔记都是我备考期间一点一点整理出来的，内容比较详细，也覆盖了大部分考试范围 如果有正在准备SQE1的朋友，对这套笔记感兴趣，欢迎评论或者私信我了解～ Small improvement (very important) In your next post add one more line that increases DMs: Add before the last sentence: 笔记是电子版，整理得比较系统 Post timing tip Post your second one today or tonight (8–10pm UK time). 小红书 activity is usually higher in the evening. Extra tip (very important) Your next 3 posts should be different angles: 1️⃣ 自学经验 (how you studied) 2️⃣ 笔记结构展示 (show structure of notes) 3️⃣ SQE难不难 (discussion post) This strategy often gets 3–5× more messages. If you want, I can also give you 3 viral 小红书 titles specifically for selling exam notes — these usually attract much more traffic than normal titles. can you add first quintile to the title Yes — adding First Quintile is a good idea because it signals credibility immediately. You just need to keep it within 20 characters. Here are good options: Best option (recommended) SQE1自学First Quintile经验 (19 characters) Option 2 SQE1自学First Quintile分享 (19 characters) Option 3 SQE1自学First Quintile笔记 (18 characters) Option 4 (more sales-focused) SQE1 First Quintile备考经验 (20 characters) I recommend: SQE1自学First Quintile经验 Reason: contains SQE1 contains First Quintile sounds like study advice, not selling (this attracts more clicks). Then your post text sells the notes, which is the best strategy on 小红书. can you change the cover most of the exam syllabus to just cover the exam syllabus and add what you recommended Yes — that change is better. Saying “covers the exam syllabus” sounds more confident and clearer. Here is the revised description with the improvements added: 很多朋友私信问我是怎么自学通过SQE1并拿到First Quintile的 我当时复习的方式是按照SQE syllabus把所有知识点重新整理成一套完整的笔记，这样复习的时候逻辑会非常清晰，也更容易记住重点 这些笔记都是我备考期间一点一点整理出来的，内容比较详细，按照SQE syllabus系统整理，覆盖考试范围笔记是电子版，整理得比较系统 如果有正在准备SQE1的朋友，对这套笔记感兴趣，欢迎评论或者私信我了解～ This version: removes “大部分” (most) and replaces it with 覆盖考试范围 (covers the exam syllabus) adds “电子版，整理得比较系统” which helps people understand the format still sounds natural and not too salesy, which works better on 小红书. If you want, I can also show you one sentence that makes people much more likely to DM you to buy notes (a psychological trick many people selling exam notes use). best place to sell my sqe notes in the uk and malaysia where people actually search to buy law notes Great question — this is actually where most people go wrong. The best place depends on whether you want: passive sales (platforms) OR fast direct buyers (social media) You should use BOTH. UK (where people actively search for notes) 1. Dedicated note-selling platforms (passive income) These are where people already search to buy notes: Docsity Huge global platform (20M+ users) → best exposure Stuvia Very popular in UK/Europe, you can set your own price Oxbridge Notes Specifically strong for law notes (very relevant for SQE) Notesale UK-based, simple upload + instant download model Best UK combo: Docsity + Stuvia + Oxbridge Notes 2. Where UK students actually buy (underrated) These are VERY important: Etsy Many people sell SQE / LPC / GDL notes You keep more profit than platforms People search directly like: “SQE notes” “SQE1 revision notes” This is one of the best places right now TikTok + Instagram UK law students: search: “SQE tips”, “SQE revision” then DM sellers This is where most high sellers actually convert Malaysia (VERY different behaviour) Malaysia buyers rarely use platforms like Stuvia. They mainly use: 1. 小红书 (RedNote) (you’re already doing this) BEST for Chinese-speaking law students Very strong for: UK law pathway (SQE, LPC) international students You’re on the right platform 2. Telegram groups (VERY powerful) Search: “SQE Malaysia” “UK law students Malaysia” People actively: ask for notes buy directly 3. Facebook groups Examples: “UK Law Students Malaysia” “SQE Malaysia” People literally post: “Anyone selling SQE notes?” Best strategy (what actually works) Don’t rely on ONE platform. Winning combo: 1. Traffic (get people) 小红书 (RedNote) TikTok (optional but powerful) 2. Conversion (sell) DM / / Telegram 3. Passive income Docsity Stuvia Important truth (most people don’t realise) Platforms = slow money Social media = fast money Most people who make money selling notes: use RedNote/TikTok to attract buyers then sell directly via DM For YOU specifically You have: First Quintile Self-study Cambridge You are in a VERY strong selling position Your best stack: 1️⃣ 小红书 (main traffic) 2️⃣ Etsy (UK buyers) 3️⃣ Stuvia or Docsity (passive) If you want to sell faster I can show you: exact pricing strategy (£15 vs £50 vs bundle) what screenshots to post to maximise trust how to turn 1 post into 10 buyers This is where most people either make £0 or £500+. for stuvia do i upload as qualification or course university For Stuvia, you should upload your SQE notes under: Qualification (not course university) Why? SQE is a professional qualification, not tied to one university Students search for: “SQE1 notes” “SQE FLK1 / FLK2” If you upload under a university, people won’t find your notes easily How to list it correctly Category: Qualification → SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) Then: Subject: SQE1 / FLK1 / FLK2 Type: Study notes / summary Example title (important for sales) Use something like: SQE1 First Quintile Notes (FLK1 399 / FLK2 390) Pro tip (very important) Split your notes into: FLK1 notes FLK2 notes OR topic bundles (contract, tort, etc.) People are more likely to buy smaller cheaper bundles first If you want, I can also: suggest best pricing strategy for SQE notes on Stuvia write a high-converting Stuvia description that actually sells What does exam elaboration mean in stuvia On Stuvia, “Exam elaboration” just means: the specific exam or module your notes are based on It’s basically asking: “Which exam are these notes for?” For your SQE notes, you should write: SQE1 (FLK1 & FLK2) or SQE1 – Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK1 & FLK2) Simple example Course: SQE Exam elaboration: SQE1 (FLK1 & FLK2) Tip Be clear and searchable. You can also include: SQE1 FLK1 FLK2 because that’s exactly what buyers type when searching. If you want, I can also help you write a high-converting title + description for Stuvia so your notes actually get purchased (this makes a big difference). so should i choose tth No — you should NOT choose “TTH”. Why? TTH (The University of Law / training provider) is a course provider, not the exam itself. Your notes are for: SQE1 (the exam), not a specific provider What you should do instead If there’s an option: Choose: SQE / Solicitors Qualifying Examination For “Exam elaboration”: Write: SQE1 (FLK1 & FLK2) Simple rule University/Course = where you studied (not relevant here) Qualification/Exam = what people search (SQE1) Why this matters People search: “SQE1 notes” “FLK1 notes” NOT: “TTH notes” If you choose TTH, your notes will be harder to find. If you want, I can also help you: choose the best title that ranks on Stuvia search or price your notes so they actually sell quickly as in should i choose exam elaboration Ahh I see what you mean now. Yes — you SHOULD fill in “Exam elaboration.” What to put: Write something like: SQE1 (FLK1 & FLK2) Why: It helps your notes appear in search results Makes it clear exactly what exam your notes are for Increases buyer trust Summary: ️ Fill in Exam elaboration ️ Write: SQE1 (FLK1 & FLK2) Don’t leave it blank Don’t put TTH If you want, I can help you optimise your Stuvia listing so it actually ranks and sells (title + keywords matter a lot). I chose other and it asks me to descripe Perfect — that’s normal. When you choose “Other”, you just need to type the exam clearly so people can find it. What you should write: SQE1 (FLK1 & FLK2) Slightly better (more searchable): SQE1 – Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK1 & FLK2) Why this works: Includes SQE1 (main keyword people search) Includes FLK1 & FLK2 (more specific searches) Looks professional and clear Avoid: TTH University names vague terms like “law notes” Final answer to use: SQE1 – Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK1 & FLK2) If you want, I can also help you write a title + description that actually gets your notes to page 1 on Stuvia search. Can it be notes for SQE1 FLK1 & 2 Yes — you can write that, but it’s not the
