[QUOTE="ZH, post: 38601, member: 3774"] Hi! I was in a similar situation last year, graduated from the LPC and definitely relate to this - I felt like there were less opportunities for me because I was a graduate but I tried not to allow this to deter me. Things however were also slightly different because the events were in person and many available. I attended events every week (2-3 events per week) from October to February and made sure I networked with the firms I wanted to apply to! I also just felt more committed to my legal career, as I'm sure you feel the same too! This included: [LIST] [*]Legal cheek events [*]Law firm open days [*]Law firm innovation / diversity / specific practice area events (I would search a specific firm, check their website regularly and sign up to the events - many events are on currently!) [*]Interlaw Diversity forum [*]Urban Lawyers [*]UCL/Kings College law society - they're both on instagram and Eventbrite is a good place to check [*]BPP Law school [*]Aspiring Soicitors [*]London Law Conference [*]The Law Society's London Law Fair [*]Junior Lawyer's Division [/LIST] Try to focus on the opportunities available and not the lack of them - do ask grad recruitment if you can attend specific events, especially if you are very interested in them. Linkedin in a great way to contact trainees. But think of different ways of contacting firms. For example, I started to write for the Student Lawyer's interview section which meant I directly contacted interviewees and then used that opportunity to get to know the firm. There are currently these two opportunities I saw on Instagram - take advantage of other ways to increase your personal brand and online presence [LIST] [*][URL]https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPavxOpE-Z/[/URL] [*][URL]https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQOqFLJIkS/[/URL] [/LIST] I hope this helps :) Z [/QUOTE]
