Career Consultations

Take Control Of Your Legal Career

A one to one career consultation will help you review where you are now and plan how to progress in your legal career and succeed with your applications.

In a one to one career consultation you will be able to:

Discover how to succeed in a tough job market
Explore which options and career paths are right for you
Identify any obstacles and discuss ways to get over them
Make informed decisions about the types of firms to apply to and the areas of law to train in
Define a plan of action
Learn how to market yourself and stand out from the crowd
Understand the reason for previous rejections

All career consultations are on a one to one basis with experienced legal career coach, Matt Oliver LLB (Solicitor), and are personally tailored to your unique situation.

“I feel that I now understand more about what is required of me in the process. It has made me feel more confident about applying for things and has shown me which things work and which do not.” - Lauren, Sussex

What You Receive

As well as the one to one consultation you will also receive:

Skills Audit Questionnaire – to help you review your key skills and attributes in advance of the consultation
Guide To What Law Firms Are Looking For In Their Applicants
Guide to Researching Law Firms & Practice Areas of Law

A Standard One to One Career Consultation is one hour long. It is also possible to book two hour long consultations or blocks of one hour consultations if preferred.

If, however, you just have one area you would like to discuss initially there is the option to book an introductory telephone consultation of 30 minutes.

“I think the phone calls and e-mails allowed you to get to know me and to understand the experience I have had….I now feel much more positive about sending out my applications.” – Dawn, Bournemouth
