The Festival of Careers & The Careers Development Service!
So a fantastic thing about the university is our career development service, which provides career coaching and access to opportunities. The annual festival of careers is one of the events organised by them, which takes place during the month of October. It includes many fairs over the month such as the Leicester Award and Study […]
Goals for second year
As a new year of Law School approaches, I thought I would write a post on what my aims and goals are for my second year. First year went so so quickly, and I cannot wait to make the most of my penultimate year of my degree. Get good grades! It cannot be denied […]
Uni is what you make of it
Recently, I was working an Open Day as a Law School Student Ambassador and a parent asked me what kinds of networking opportunities there are available for law students. I rattled off my usual list: Law Society competitions and moot winners receive work experiences or offers to shadow lawyers/judges, barristers and solicitors come in […]

Commercial Awareness. Everyone says that they don’t quite know what it is. In fact, it’s become a cliche to say that there is no definitive answer to what the term ‘Commercial Awareness’ means. On the contrary, however, I think it’s actually quite straightforward and I’m going to tell you how to become a Commercially Aware […]
How to succeed in anything you do
I love podcasts, and recently, I took a break from TED talks and How I Built This and I turned my attention to the Good Life Project podcast (which, I think, is pretty self-explanatory). The episode that I listened to is entitled, ‘To Succeed at Anything, Do This’, so I was expecting some […]

My ever-changing career path, Pt. II
It’s been a really windy road to figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I realised that I hadn’t been honest with myself about my passions, because something had stopped me every time from admitting my one, true passion for the media and entertainment industry. It’s really […]
My ever-changing career path, Pt. I
Over the course of this year since September, I’ve written not one, not two, but THREE blog posts on a change in career. I swear this is the last one, because I am so set on this career path and life plan. This is probably the most important blog post I’ve ever written. […]
