I will be a graduate from Du 3 year law school soon enough but have no PPO or job offer in hand. I have only ever interned in 1 proper law firm with the DR team and just a few online internships here and there which add no real value to my resume. My skills are limited to minor drafting work, research and knowing the basics of scc and manupatra. I always wanted to work with a law firm especially corporate area/M&A.. but unfortunately never got a single internship despite multiple applications, reaching out to seniors, and people on linkedin etc. I got decent grades but that's the only highlight of my journey so far. How do I make myself competent enough at this stage to get a job? I've been thinking of switching career and start preparing for government job exams but does not sound much feasible either given my age and mental stress. Pls guide and advice about my situation. I will be grateful and indebted.

Intern even after passing out. Look for a T2 or even T3( being from du will help )firm and start interning there stick with them and you might land a job. You can also join an LLM if you along with it. Placement for us 3yr LLB students are just a joke but we have to make the best out of it.

All the best tho

A willingness to learn and excel in those skills? I know there's no substitute for hands-on training for which internships were required. I took online courses to have an understanding about basics before targeting the area where I wanted to intern under but never got any or atleast in the area where I wanted. Eventually had to settle for areas outside my area of interest and even aptitude. I know I'm not employable with my diverse internship range with most of them online. But then realistically where does one go from here? I don't think interning after graduating is a realistic possibility.. since I have seen on almost every firm's website where they ask you which year you are in etc.. they expect interns to be full time college students.

Relax. Life is long. Lots of opportunities will come through. I was in a similar situation last year. Did an LLM and got to a good place in life. I am satisfied with the growth. Not as much as the successful peers of my age, but still very decent. Just do not sit idle. Do something, ON RECORD.

Does doing an LLM guarantee a job? Are there any realistic prospect of doing it..? Most people have advised me that it adds no real value to resume and just a filler. Plus CLAT PG is always going to be a gamble.. btw.. do they really hire in PSU's from top 50 rankers.. or do they see work ex too?
