This in-person careers event focuses on helping students and graduates strengthen their commercial awareness ahead of vacation scheme and training contract interviews. Lawyers from Norton Rose Fulbright and Womble Bond Dickinson’s Newcastle offices, alongside a University of Law careers expert, will share insight into their own career journeys and what helped them succeed in competitive recruitment processes. The discussion also covers the commercial awareness topics firms expect candidates to understand and how these come up in interviews. The session is followed by informal networking, giving attendees the opportunity to speak directly with lawyers, trainees and graduate recruitment teams. It is aimed at students and graduates looking to better understand what firms assess and how to position themselves more effectively during applications and interviews.
