Law Firm Challenges — Use them to get a Training Contract
The Interview Series
Hi,
If you hope to get any job, you should be commercially aware. We all heard that.
But if you don’t have time, find it too difficult to keep up with, or simply forget about it, I have a solution. It’s called LittleLaw.
Idin, the guy behind it, has a knack for simplifying complex commercial awareness articles. He also does it for free.
If that isn’t in line with what we stand for at Equal Opportunity, then I don’t know what is.
Some of you already tried it.
But if you haven’t, git it a try. It’s free. Tap below for 1-click sign-up.

Back to law firms’ *our* challenges. You should keep up with what your prospective employer does and their challenges.
If not for anything else, if they go under, TCs offers are delayed or worse — revoked.
When we meet someone that seems to understand our pain and challenges we naturally want to befriend them. They are likeable. They know us.
Use the same principle for firms. 👇🏻
Until next Sunday,
Alin George
