ABSTRACT

People need to focus on their academic development while simultaneously concentrating on their personal and professional development. Most universities have a department dedicated to helping students develop their career paths and their employability level. The employment process usually requires them to fill out an application form and attend an interview. Most law schools will go out of their way to host a number of employer and career events for students to connect with potential employers. Since many students achieve good grades, employers look at what else you can bring to the table and whether this fits in with their work environment. They may be law fairs, recruitment events, talks organised by employers on a particular subject, or they can be talks organised by the careers service on how to complete application forms. Remember, employers are not divorced from reality; they too will probably have a social media presence and the resources to carry out their due diligence on potential candidates.
