Hints and Tips

When first applying to any job it’s important to do your research. This shows that you have thought about the company and the role and know what you’re applying for. You can do this by reading blogs/watching videos/listening to podcasts from people in the role/industry you’re applying for, rather than just reading the job description. 

Here’s a few things to consider when researching an employer/role:

  • Who their clients are (do they mainly work with smaller companies/start-ups or larger organisations?)
  • The type of work the partner/team you’re applying to do (litigation, drafting, office actions, a mix)
  •  Where the offices are based
  • Any major news i.e., awards, mergers etc.

Finally, ask questions at the interview: How often do you visit other offices? What are your ED&I processes? Why did you choose to work for this company? What does an average day look like? And if you are invited to interview, talk to as many people as possible to try and see if the atmosphere and ethos of the firm are what you are looking for.
