Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 209551" data-attributes="member: 36777">More specifically for your question, since you are from a non-law background I would invest more time into understanding how the firm's different practice areas work and complement each other. I think this is helpful both in enabling you to deliver a higher quality of work and in showing off commercial awareness that goes beyond just being aware of what is going on in the business world. Furthermore, detailed understanding of the inner workings of a firm's departments shows a higher level of commitment to law, which is very important for a non-law candidate. For the LinkedIn question, while this is a decision for you to make and while it certainly won't harm you in any way to get the premium version, I do not think it is merited. Connecting with trainees before the scheme is good, but besides getting a few lines of advice and showing a proactive attitude, it will only do so much in increasing your conversion chances. I also think that if you put 'Incoming Vacation Scheme at X firm' in you Experience section on your profile, most trainees who are active on LinkedIn will accept your connection request, whether you send a personalized invite or not.</blockquote>
