JOB #INTERVIEW TIPS...



The interview starts the moment you walk through the potential employers door. So be polite to everyone including the receptionist.

Your body language says a lot about you so looking smart in the legal profession is expected.

Check your shoes and handbag (if you have one) for stains.

Research the company well before you go for the interview, that way you are prepared for any direct questions about the company.

Be punctual.

Know when to be quiet.

Make sure you let them know that you have the right skills for the job advertised.

Have some answers ready for the usual questions about why are you looking to move from your current employer. What do you enjoy or not enjoy about your current role. What are you looking for in your next role.

LAWYERS FOR YOUR BUSINESS...

As a result of research with members in late 2014, a number of changes are being implemented to update the long-standing Lawyers For Your Business (LFYB) scheme and migrate it online.

The scheme is aimed at smaller firms and sole practitioners who would like help in generating new business enquiries from start-up, small and medium sized businesses.

The Law Society stated that they are currently migrating LFYB online into Find a Solicitor to display the logo on member firms profile pages and in search results pages. Search functionality is being upgraded to enable business owners to filter results to only display LFYB members or find their nearest LFYB member by searching against specific areas of practice.

Improved marketing will include paid search campaigns and extending work with third party referrers, for example Barclays Bank, who already introduce LFYB as part of their business start-up package'.
