[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 14043, member: 2672"] You are underestimating the worth of the retail job. The reason why law firms like extra curriculars is purely down to they like to see candidates who keep themselves busy and occupied. This shows they can manage their time effectively. Vast majority of students are people who have a lot of time on their hands especially when compared to people who are working in law firms - so finding people who have kept themselves busy, gone out of their comfort zone, taken on responsibility are all things that provide some form of confidence that they will be able to adapt to working in a law firm well. A retail job is likely to develop the same kind of skills and attributes as some extra curriculars - don’t under sell it. [/QUOTE]
