[QUOTE="Sian, post: 228984, member: 43463"] Absolutely- it’s not just about having a “fancy” or legal-brand name on your experience. What really matters is what you learned and the skills you developed. For example, I volunteered at a local family court and some of my law-student friends legal advice centres as a law student, which gave us insight into client interaction, case handling, and research skills. I’ve also worked in retail, which helped me build teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. Top firms look for evidence that you can think critically, work with others, and adapt, so focus on highlighting the transferable skills and learning from all your experiences, rather than worrying about the brand name.
