Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ahi88" data-source="post: 96835" data-attributes="member: 5225">The advice on "how to do things differently" will be very personal to you as opposed to another person. For that very reason, you should take time to reflect on how your 2021 went and how you could do things differently. For example, you may have found that you applied to a lot of law firms last year so maybe this year you could spend more time targeting your applications to only a select few (i.e. 4 or 5 firms) to ensure you are allocating more time to make a tailored application. Definitely take part in more open evenings that your target law firms are holding this year or any panel discussions to build your wider commercial awareness about trends in the legal market as well as gathering nuggets of information you can include in your applications from law firms you are interested in. Acting on any feedback received last year if you were able to receive any through applications, friends or peers reviewing your applications etc. and starting to make an action plan on how you will address these areas will also be beneficial in your next round of applications as well as personal growth. In terms of seeking new opportunities and new legal experiences, I think that this will always be positive not only for your applications but also for your own development. Working in different legal settings will help refine where your legal interests may be and allow you to understand how law firms operate as businesses. Having said this, seeking out non-legal work experiences will also be useful in developing your wider skill set and will enable you to bolster your overall skills profile and enable to you draw from diverse experiences in both your applications and interviews.Being able to act on feedback, demonstrate resilience and be proactive in seeking improvement will stand you in good stead to produce sound examples in your applications and interviews as well as prepare you for a legal career.</blockquote>
