How to Say YES to the Right Legal Job. Looking for advice on choosing the right job in the legal sector? Here’s a tip: Ask questions. Lots of them! Seriously, don't hold back. 🤣 I recently spoke with an Associate Private Client Solicitor who left a job he enjoyed for one that looked better on paper. Six months later, he’s job hunting again. The reason? He didn’t fully understand what he was signing up for. Since you spend a significant portion of your life at work, make sure it’s the right fit for you. It’s not uncommon for companies to oversell roles, leading to mismatched expectations. If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation, get in touch with me. I’m here to help you find the legal position that truly suits you. Remember, asking too many questions is better than not asking enough! #QEDLegal #LegalSector #PrivateClient

Your job is not boring - don't let anyone tell you different. It might be your current role or maybe it's the job you started in, but be grateful. At a time when many have lost jobs, some are working in roles that are "at risk" and others are hoping and praying to be invited for interviews, I'm grateful for starting my legal career in what others might deem a "boring job". I was an Admin Officer (AO), working from one of the many HMCTS Courts in London. No one really asked me what I did because everyone knew what court staff meant (iykyk) I collected the post, opened letters, logged correspondence, prepared court bundles, drafted orders and occasionally dealt with happy/unhappy court users. That "boring job" had me in Court for 2 and a half years and it taught me a few things: 1️⃣ Communication: You learn to deal with people from all backgrounds confidently - litigants, lawyers, judges and members of the public. Equal treatment = respecting people irrespective of why they were in Court that day. 2️⃣ Problem-solving: You learn that Court is just a big room where problems get sorted, whether it is a long standing Chancery dispute or a frightened litigant in person, people just want help/a solution. 3️⃣ Attention-to-detail: You learn that some of the letters/orders you handle could be the difference between someone staying a repossession or a warrant being executed correctly - names, addresses, dates and amounts are double and triple checked. I no longer work in a "boring job", but I am still grateful. That "boring job" was the stepping stone to 5 promotions, 10 years of legal experience, and numerous journeys to Courts around the country, I wouldn't have it any other way. Without that "boring job" I never would have become the Prosecutor I am today. You might not feel like it, but thank God for that "boring job". It might just change your life. #Law #LawyerLife #LLB #LLM #SQE #Solicitor #Barrister #FutureLawyers

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted and I’m conscious that I haven’t been adequately projecting what an incredibly busy and sought-after recruiter I am. Admittedly that’s because I’ve been so busy… but can you really be busy if you haven’t told everyone on LinkedIn? Anyway, before this gets too existential, let me tell you about the smorgasbord of roles I’m busy with: Lead In-House Counsel (8+) ⛽ @ global fuel retailer, Brisbane Special Counsel (Construction w/Partnership track) 🚧  @ prominent national firm, Brisbane Senior Associate (Corporate Projects) ⚡ @ top tier, Brisbane Senior Associate (General Liability) 📜  @ specialist insurance firm, Brisbane Solicitor (Construction 2+) 🏗️ @ leading mid-tier, Sydney Solicitor to Senior Associate (Employment) 💼 @ commercial boutique, Sydney  Company Secretary 📋 @ regulatory authority, Brisbane What I love about recruitment is that the roles I go to market with will be a perfect and potentially unexpected next step for someone. If you’re a lawyer wanting to test your thinking on any of these, please reach out. I’m NEVER too busy for that. ☎ 07 3232 9138 📧 ravin.desilva@uandu.com #Sarcasm #LowestFormOfWit #Hiring #LegalCareers #NewOpportunities #JobOpportunity #LegalJobs #CareerGrowth #HiringNow #NowHiring #Hiring #LegalProfession #LawyerLife #LawJobs #LegalRecruitment #LawyersOfLinkedIn #Lawyer #Lawyers #TalentAcquisition #LegalIndustry #CareerChange #NewBeginnings #CareerSupport #LetsTalk #ProfessionalGrowth #JobSearchTips #CareerOpportunities #InHouseCounsel #BrisbaneJobs #SydneyJobs #ConstructionLaw #EmploymentLaw #InsuranceLaw #LawyersOfAustralia #CompanySecretary #PartnerTrack #LawFirm
