Oculus Legal Group participated in the Bristol Law Fair at University of the West of England yesterday, where we had the opportunity to meet with local students and engage in workshops, including a CV writing session led by Dan Hazzard. It was a special experience for the team, as it took them back to where it all began—Ffion Watts, Sam Strickland, and Dan Hazzard are all proud UWE Law graduates! Throughout the day, our team discussed various career paths in law, shared insights into different legal avenues, and answered questions about building a successful career in the legal field. It was also wonderful to see so many of our clients there, connecting with both familiar faces and the future of the legal industry. #LegalRecruitment #LegalJobs #LawCareers #LawJobs #HiringLawyers #LegalProfessionals #LegalCareerOpportunities #LawFirmJobs #InHouseLegal #SolicitorJobs #ParalegalJobs #GraduateLawJobs

🎃 It’s Spooky Season! Let’s Talk, How to Avoid the Tricks! 🎃   As Halloween approaches, here’s a lighthearted reminder of some “spooky” recruitment pitfalls to avoid:   👻 Ghosting Not interested in the position anymore? Or has the candidate not quite fit the bill? Communication is key. Let’s avoid ghosting; transparency reflects professionalism and respect.   💀 Skeletons in the Closet We all have a past role, gap, or decision we’re not particularly proud of. Addressing career gaps or shifts openly and confidently is always better than hoping they go unnoticed. Honesty builds credibility.   🎃 Know Your Pumpkin Patch Applying for roles that don’t quite match your skill set? It’s important to focus on positions where your expertise shines. Both candidates and employers benefit when skills are aligned with the needs of the role.   🌕 Werewolves  If your availability is limited, or you’re only able to engage sporadically, setting expectations early makes a difference. A consistent communication cadence helps everyone stay on track.   🦇 And Vampires? They’re cool, sure. We’re just not adding more analogies today. 😊   Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃👻
