[QUOTE="BolderBlackPrincess, post: 169637, member: 32624"] Yes, but most of those are the same as spending the whole time doing nothing but making applications. Also if they ask 'tell me about yourself' and its February, and you finished with 'i graduated 8 months ago' there will certainly be warning sirens in the mind of the interviewer as to what you've been doing, and they will likely ask you what you've done since then or ask for a more recent example to a question. Even doing something like working in a pub 'building my interpersonal skills' etc. would be expected if nothing else. Open days and virtual events, whilst demonstrating an interest in the law, don't really show the same pro-activeness that someone doing the same whilst working part time/full time would show. At the end of the day, you could do nothing but apply and maybe do some virtual presentations if you really want- but top law firms get thousands of applications, and you will be disadvantaged if you aren't showing at least some effort beyond the bare minimum.
