[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 92794, member: 2672"] The key to this is that you tailor it to your personal preferences. Everyone will have parts of the job they don’t like - it’s just making sure there is enough of the things you will enjoy to balance that out completely for you to enjoy the job. So think about the processes or responsibilities a trainee/junior lawyer would have that you know won’t be the parts that make you happy going to the office early on a Monday morning. I’d try to avoid the obvious like the long hours as no one likes that! Try to think about what might be more unique to you.
