  • Filling the Gap and Gaining Experience
    Filling the Gap and Gaining Experience - advice from a group of commercially focused lawyers and the Careers Service Use this leaflet if you are: - A graduate who has had their traineeship deferred and is looking to make good use of their time - a Diploma student or graduate looking for a traineeship - an undergraduate looking to gain experience to help you stand out in today’s competitive traineeship market A group of commercial law firms answered the three questions below and gave the following advice for making the most of a gap year, and gaining experience. 1. What tips would you give to graduates with a year (or more) to fill due to a deferred traineeship? • Do something constructive that will help them to develop as a person, be it travel, charity work, work experience - a break like that is not likely to arise again in their professional career so it should be used wisely and the time should be appreciated. • Try to be positive – see this as an opportunity. Make the most of the time you have, think of the time as an opportunity to develop yourself further rather than a negative turn in your career path. • Studying an LLM can be a good selling point but employers are likely to rate a period of work in a relevant business as highly as a taught LLM. • Possibly enquire as to whether any of the firm’s clients have any job opportunities available. • Look for pro bono opportunities or take time out to achieve personal goals such as learning a language.
