Commercial Awareness in London


This week, I attended a workshop in London about Commercial Awareness. The speakers were people from respected London Law firms. 2 solicitors and 1 trainee. This gave us an insight on the what its like on the first steps and on the end goal. Opportunities like these open up when one joins the University's Law society.

It was a fun day out. We got to learn about what Law firms look for in applicants as well as how to apply in a way that THEY like. It's not about coming to them as the finished product; its about showing potential and presenting traits that would be beneficial to the firm. Attitude as well as knowledge and skill.

Although the workshop was great; the best part of the day was the journey. The coach ride to Victoria Station was easy enough. But after that; the group kind of got separated. I was left to figure out which bus to take to get to Waterloo for everyone who was in my group. I'm not very good at traversing London so all this was very frantic. I had to call my girlfriend to tell me where to go (I assumed since she lives in London; she must know where to go). Overall we got there in the end so it all worked out.
