Applying for Training Contracts or Vacation Schemes? Got an interview coming up?
For this episode of the #MoreFromLaw podcast, I spoke with Jaysen Sutton of The Corporate Law Academy. Jaysen has proofread hundreds of applications and conducted many mock interviews with candidates.
We discuss:
- The do’s and don’ts of writing an application
- The different ways law firms interview candidates, with tips for each
- How to network and overcome public speaking fears
and more!
A really insightful conversation that I’m sure will be of value to many aspiring lawyers. Listen in at the links below!
