I provide specialist advice on training contract or vacation scheme applications via one to one coaching sessions to give you exactly what you need. The coaching is designed to give you the full benefit of my experience of recruiting trainee solicitors.
“I don’t think you could have done anything further, I got prompt replies and I can see you spent a lot of time on it. I think you have made the most of my selling points and that is exactly what I needed. I think the phone calls and e-mails allowed you to get to know me and to understand the experience I have had. My CV and covering letter have improved drastically and I now feel much more positive about sending out my applications.” - Dawn, Bournemouth
I will review and work with you on your applications for training contracts or vacation schemes in order to improve their success rate. All coaching and advice is provided by me personally via telephone and email.
There are various benefits of working one-to-one in this way:
- All advice can be tailored specifically to you and your applications – by working with you one-to-one all advice is highly personalised. This is in contrast to other careers services where the advice is often too generic or there isn’t enough one-to-one work.
- You get my honest feedback on your applications based on my experience of recruiting trainee solicitors. You can benefit from my expertise in this area in order to set yourself apart from the crowd.
- You will learn what is important to include in applications for training contracts and how to present yourself in them.
- You can receive one-to-one guidance on how to develop and express your reasoning about why you want to work at particular firms and why you would be a valuable addition to that firm. This is a vital element of all successful applications for trainee solicitor jobs.
- You benefit from a highly personalised approach which gives me the chance to get to know you, understand your strengths and weaknesses and give targeted advice specific to you as opposed to generic, one size fits all advice.
- You know exactly who is working on your applications at all times – I do not have anyone else reviewing your applications or providing advice.
- You can be sure you are getting advice from someone with the relevant experience and expertise to be able to help you improve your applications.
- The review process and associated advice is a dynamic two way street not a one-stop application review and re-write service. We would have a continuous dialogue via the phone and email and work together to improve your applications. This is much more beneficial to you.
- We would work through a tried and tested step by step process which will improve not only your written applications but also your understanding of the application process and what recruiters are looking for.
- I provide you with mark-ups of your application documents so that you can see my comments and suggested changes. We would then discuss these in detail in our telephone sessions.
- I give you access to other targeted careers advice materials which will help you with your applications.
I am proud to have helped many applicants and have always succeeded in significantly improving their applications in each case.
Given that I like to give all my coaching clients my fullest attention I work with a very limited number at any one time. I can also tailor the package to your specific circumstances and needs.
I wanted to improve my CV and also learn a little more about the application process and the best ways to apply and present yourself as a candidate. I definitely feel my CV is a lot stronger and feel more confident handing it in for applications. I also understand the ways to present information about yourself and other tricks to applying (ringing the firm / the websites etc).” - Pierce, Guildford
