[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 213263, member: 36740"] Just following up on this. I totally get how the feeling of reading many articles can be, especially when new to that. When I was new to that, I found it really challenging to digest what was going on, and most especially how it applied to law firms and their clients - something really important to be able to do. I then took the executive decision to refrain from reading long-winded articles that had contained complex details and many words I didn’t even know. I spent some time building commercial awareness more, which contrary to what some may think, isn’t just about reading articles - it‘s also about knowing certain definitions, basic economic concepts and how they link to businesses, etc. I literally brought out again my old IGCSE Business Studies and Economics textbooks. These helped greatly clarify those early stage concepts. Once I was confident in these, and also confident in practicing with more summarised articles and easy-to-digest pieces of news data, commercial awareness became by bestie (well sort of, seeing as it’s a muscle that needs constant flexing). So my main advice when it gets tough - step back, rewire your approach, and build upwards. Before you know it, in just a couple of months, you will get to where you need to be to excel in those applications and interviews. [/QUOTE]
