[QUOTE="KM6363, post: 48131, member: 5438"] Hi [USER=9535]@LM[/USER] Thank you so much for sharing your insights. I am currently a trainee in my third seat and wondered if you had any advice on the following: 1) Navigating the qualification process - I have been told that NQ interviews are particularly challenging. Did you prepare extensively to ensure you secured a place in your chosen department? Did you consider applying externally? 2) Technical ability - You mentioned that some trainees may do mundane tasks during their contract. How does one develop technical ability if so and how were you able to demonstrate the legal knowledge you acquired on qualification? 3) Commercial awareness - has your approach to developing commercial awareness changed at all following qualification? Were you expected to demonstrate a higher level of business acumen? 4) Attention to detail - developing this skill has been particularly challenging for me and the pressure to achieve perfection can be overwhelming. Did you receive any form of training to develop this skill? Thanks again for your contribution to the Forum, it's really appreciated. [/QUOTE]
