legal career advice
Three life lessons and the top eight tips to help you bag those law firm and advocate internships.
Since the start of Legally India's blogging competition in January, a total of 50 law bloggers (blawgers) have shared legal thoughts, laughs, pains and the downright surreal. With a little over two months to go in the competition this round-up looks at the most popular bloggers and posts to date.
We are also pleased to announce two new sponsored jury prizes for the most thought provoking blog posts on issues of social and legal importance, worth Rs 20,000 (see details below), which was kindly donated by a practising lawyer.
We asked Careers Counsel what they do with a stack of CVs and cover letters sitting on their desks.
One partner calls them "covering letters that make life easier: one look and you don't look again!" Since sometimes the best instruction is (bad) example, Careers Counsel has compiled some of the worst real life cover letters. If your current cover letter looks anything like these, change it. Now!
Dear Careers Counsel, how do I write the perfect cover letter to swing that high-paying law firm job?
