I’m ready for anything,
You know me as an expert marketing and advertising solicitor, but I’m also an exam invigilator at my kids’ former secondary school.
I first got involved with helping the school after the Covid lockdowns. You may remember Covid testing was needed as students returned to in person learning, so I became a tester.
It was an interesting role which provided insights into how humans deal with situations, but that is another story!
When testing was no longer needed, I was asked to train as an invigilator.
When both my girls left to go to uni, I decided to carry on, doing my bit to help the school.
Last week was the first exams of 2024. My only session booked was for Thursday afternoon but I was asked to cover a public exam on the Wednesday afternoon for a student that couldn’t take the paper on the set date.
This can happen due to a number of reasons, like illness or accident. Life is very good at throwing spanners into the works for everyone including teenagers! 😉
However, as I have come to learn, dealing with students means things can change.
When I arrived, they needed an extra person to cover a mock A-Level history paper, as you need a ratio of one invigilator to 30 students.
“Here comes the cavalry” said the lead invigilator as I walked in the room!
Luckily I’m used to things changing. My clients’ needs change, so I need to be flexible.
We may have a call booked to discuss one thing but talk about something else as another issue arose that morning.
This is why my monthly retainer works so well.
It’s like an insurance policy – covering all your legal needs when it comes to your marketing and advertising activities.
Advice when you need it, keeping you on the right side of the law.
