[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 105942, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=18282]@hungry_for_TC[/USER], Congratulations for getting the job! That is amazing news. Just as a side note, have you asked for interview feedback? Interview feedback is hard to come by, so, even though you were successful in this instance, if I were you I would grab the opportunity to have some! [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has provided you with fantastic advice here. [I]If[/I] I were in your position some questions that I would ask myself would be: [B]1.[/B] Is this job going to develop my skillset and allow me to develop in a way that I want? Will it provide me with relevant opportunities? [B]2.[/B] Am I actually interested in the job in question? [B]3. [/B]What alternatives do I have? Are any of these preferable? [B]4. [/B]If I accept this job, can I apply to other things at the same time? Would it be possible to leave prematurely? The only question which I feel like I can provide any thoughts on in this situation is 1. I would think, as Jess touches on, that this would provide you with relevant opportunities. Being in a law firm will allow you to network with lawyers (if you make the effort) and you will learn a lot through osmosis just by being in a legal setting. As you said too, MDR is a fantastic firm to have on your CV too. If you make strong connections at the firm, I am sure this will be handy when you are looking to make applications in the future. I hope some of that might be helpful 🚀 [/QUOTE]
