Law graduates’ guide to success

Embarking on a legal career in today’s competitive landscape requires more than just academic prowess; it demands a strategic approach to personal branding and interview preparedness. Africa Legal has just the tools you need.

Having recognised this need, Africa Legal will be facilitating a webinar titled "Law Graduates’ Guide to Success: Crafting an Impactful CV and Core Interview Skills", scheduled for 28 November. This initiative, in partnership with the Federation of African Law Students (FALAS), is targeted at law students and recent graduates aiming to make their mark in the legal field.

The panel of experts – Dayo Okusami, partner at Templars, and Seun Timi-Koleolu, Managing Partner at Pavestones – and moderator James Leach, Africa Legal’s Chief Learning Officer, bring a wealth of experience to the table. Their insights will not only guide attendees on how to craft impactful CVs and ace interviews, but will also provide mentorship and practical wisdom that textbooks alone cannot offer.

The webinar is a natural extension of Africa Legal’s comprehensive online courses, "Preparing For Your First Legal Interview" and "How To Draft Your Legal CV”. These free courses serve as foundational elements for the webinar, offering a glimpse into the skills and knowledge essential for legal market success. The webinar aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application, helping attendees understand the critical role of CVs in their career journey, and develop the interview skills required for making a positive impact in legal interviews.

This webinar will be particularly significant for those on the threshold of their legal careers. It delves into the nuances of what makes a CV stand out in a pile and the dynamics of an interview conversation, equipping attendees with the tools to confidently navigate these crucial steps. The collaboration with FALAS amplifies its reach, ensuring that a broad spectrum of law students across Africa benefit from this knowledge exchange.

Attendees who complete a request form will also receive a certificate of attendance, adding further value to this learning experience, and providing tangible recognition of their commitment to career development.

This webinar is a pivotal stepping stone for aspiring legal professionals eager to excel in a challenging yet rewarding field.
