    I'm a solicitor myself and trust me, they wouldn't offer you the job if they didn't think you could do it. I say jump in, give it a go. I think you'll do great!

    I say go for it, even if just for a trial period. I don't know if you have done contract work before, but the whole paperwork side of things is a right PITA. If you can avoid that, then do so. It really is much better to be an employee and have them deal with all complaince isses such as tax, also they will pay your super.

    Schaz - awww thanks!!! A months trial sounds ok.... I guess... just don't wanna stuff up or anything thats all.. I HATE making mistakes (which is what makes me a really good conveyancer - I'm pretty.. pedantic...)

    Spring - thanks! A solicitor hey.. hmm... you know.. the firm is looking for a part time family lawyer

    Astrid - yeah I did think about that... DH does some work on the side and has his own paperwork to deal with, plus all the extra tax stuff... it is a lot of trouble...

    Feeb - thanks hon

    Gee... I hope I can do this

    Mel, don't doubt yourself honey they wouldn't have offered you the position if hey hadn't given it a lot of thought.
    Just think of it this way if your really pedantic the chances of you making mistaks are pretty small because you'll triple check everything!!!
    You'll blow them out of the water honey.

    You can do it Mel They wouldn't offer you the job if they thought you couldn't. I say give it a trial, its a great offer and one thats not going to come around every day, and if after the trial you don't like it then at least you won't wonder forever and always what might have happened if you'd taken the job
