[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 213305, member: 36740"] I completely understand how intimidating these situations can feel at first, but it’s important to be socially active. It’s a big part of the job as a lawyer, so you need to showcase that skill and demonstrate that you can build rapport with people quite easily. I appreciate that this ability takes time to develop, but a simple greeting like, “Hi, I’m part of the vacation scheme cohort, currently sitting in X department with X,” is a great place to start. From there, people usually begin asking about your experience, you ask them about theirs, and the conversation tends to flow naturally. It’s definitely a skill that takes practice, but it’s one you need to work on and visibly demonstrate throughout your scheme. Being good on paper but lacking social engagement can potentially affect your chances of conversion. Also, the way you come across matters. Sometimes, in trying to make a good impression, people can be overly eager, speak too quickly, or even accidentally interrupt the other person. That can come off as disrespectful and affect the tone of the conversation, especially in a professional setting. It’s something worth being mindful of. Best of luck with the scheme! [/QUOTE]
