over the past 2 weeks, ive sent out 12 resumes for pupillage applications

Pupilllage- sort of internship for lawyers

So far no luck sad.gif

Am not a lawyer, but has been a manager at an IT company but this could be useful advise.

1. LLB chambering is seasonal. At this point of time, this is the season where application from UIA students are a lot. Expect competition.
2. I have seen some IT grads resume and a few LLB grads resume that looks like a form 3 product. Resume are the representation of oneself before the interview. I assume and believe, your is much better.
3. At this point of time also, there has been request from many institutions also for their Law related courses student for 1,2,3 months practical for their student.
4. Try find firms that has such vacancy. Remember firm has to consider whether they have enuff resource for pupilage. Eg, place for u to sit, computer for u to work, budget for your allowance. I dont think you would want a place that gives no allowance.
5. 2 weeks is short. most firms are busy, their current responsibilities are their 1st important priorities. Some firms also want to kumpul a few resumes before calling for interview. Expect 1-1.5 months.
6. You can also follow-up by calling.
7. Most older firms are less IT savvy, even some partners dont know how to open email. Y dont you make calls to enquire.

my 2 cents
