[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 194644, member: 36777"] Hey [USER=34555]@mat123[/USER] - I agree there is a limit to how much business value you can add at this early stage, but I still think you can make some plausible claims. If the firm did not see potential for added business value, they would not commit to the significant financial investment involved in hiring a trainee. Now, as to an example as to how you could go about showing this: say you reference a past work experience in which you used a variety of resources (tech, getting input from more senior colleagues, great organization skills, or your own innovative approach) to increase efficiency. Then, you can explain how this skill would allow you to complete your tasks in a more time-efficient manner at the firm. This will mean the firm will have to bill clients for less hours of your time, but also that you can help out colleagues complete their work more effectively. Firstly, this will ensure your work is never holding anyone up, but instead potentially allows others to deliver on their tasks earlier than anticipated. Secondly, if you are efficient with your workload you will have capacity to take on more work from the hands of other colleagues, which will also help free up the more senior colleagues to to take on more work, which should result in increased revenues for the firm. However, the broader point here is that by being able to speed up completion of your tasks, you will help the firm deliver legal service to clients in a more time-efficient and cost-efficient manner, which always makes clients happy. Making clients happy increases the chances they will return to the firm with more mandates, which drives up revenues and profits. [/QUOTE]
