• If you are looking for a job in the law
  profession and you are just starting out, you
  should certainly register with a few agencies as
  well as scanning law magazines or approaching
  your current employers if you trained with them.
• If you should approach London recruiters you will
  find that they may have vacancies for many other
  areas of the country. However if you are set on
  Legal jobs in London you may have a better
  salary, but accommodation and commuting can be
  very expensive.
• There are skills involved to get you on the
  ladder and it would be good to know what they
  are. Competition is great in this area and you
  need to be able to convince a firm that you are
  the best for the job.

• Apart from professional competence it is always
  very useful to have good people skills. I have
  seen many an unqualified person landing a
  fabulous job because they are good at handling
  people. Of course, it is important that you are
  nominated for an interview first. This may be
  the hardest part.
• You know that in the legal profession many
  transactions and negotiations are done in writing
  and if you can make yourself understood clearly
  and concisely you will stand a better chance. You
  could mention what you have achieved this way
  when you are compiling your CV.
• I have worked in many legal offices over the past
  years and one of the most awful things that I
  have come across is that organisational skills
  are often lacking. Desks were piled high with
  files and dead files were lingering in cupboards
  for a long time.

• A good organisational skill to keep you on top of
  your work is, therefore, crucial. When you
  start, you will probably be given a few client
  files to help someone senior out. You can only
  concentrate well on one task at a time and your
  help will be invaluable in this department.
• Attention to detail and analytical skills are
  very important. The latter is an art to improve
  and hopefully you have evidence in your CV to
  show this.
• If you have registered yourself with a few
  agencies, you will get all the help you need in
  perfecting your CV and they will also give you
  helpful hints on how to conduct yourself during
  an interview. They have seen it all before and
  can pose questions to you that are likely to come
  up.

• There could be some tricky questions amongst
  these such as what you will see yourself doing in
  a years time. You are new and you will have no
  idea how your life will pan out in this
  direction.
• When you are working in a legal office there are
  always all kinds of information obtainable on how
  the law changes all the time. It will stand you
  in good stead to be aware of these and keep
  yourself informed.
