[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 31511, member: 2672"] Although there are some common skill sets, it will vary from firm to firm. For instance, some firms will value leadership potential more so than team working, while many others will be the other way around. Generally though it will be some from the following list: [LIST] [*]Self determination/drive [*]Setting yourself high standards [*]Commitment [*]Team working [*]Leadership [*]Organisational skills (e.g. planning, multi-tasking, meeting deadlines) [*]Attention to detail/drafting skills [*]Ethics [*]Analytical skills/Critical thinking [*]Communication skills [*]Positive attitudes in challenging situations [*]Self-development and a want to learn [*]Initiative [*]Putting yourself outside of your comfort zone [*]Creativity/"outside the box" thinking [*]Commercial awareness [*]Good judgement [*]The ability to influence others [/LIST] A lot of firms will actively tell you what they are looking for though. It will be important to look at firm’s values too as this sometimes provides some insight into what they are looking for too. How you can develop them is a very long post/list..... it would be easier to say how you don't develop any of the above ;) [/QUOTE]
