Opis

Competition is fierce to secure a training contract with a firm of solicitors. Undergraduates, postgraduates and those on the LPC all find the task equally difficult. This new book provides practical solutions to many of these problems. Clearly laid-out, easy-to-read and informative, it includes useful advice on such areas as: drafting CVs; writing covering letters to apply for training contracts; researching the market place; getting the best value out of work experience; selecting firms; interview approaches and techniques; accessing sources of finance. The book aims to be a useful source of reference and offer practical tips for anyone wishing to enter the legal profession.
