Private Client Partner at Russell-Cooke Solicitors

I have had the privilege of being Graduate Recruitment partner for the last 4 years. Now it is time to hand over the mantle to the brilliant Jemma Pollock. Here we are in our Graduate Recruitment uniform! After many years qualified 🥴 I never forget just how hard it is to secure a training contract. I am in constant awe of those CVs that come through the door about the achievements of those entering our profession and just how much they pack in! Nonetheless it is tougher than ever. For those that have not secured a training contract - keep going and importantly be yourself. For those who have secured a training contract or are about to qualify. My top tips: 1. Be yourself - easier said than done when at the beginning of your career but it pays dividends and is much more enjoyable. 2. Don’t sweat the small stuff. 3. Everyone makes mistakes at all levels of an organisation. It may make you feel sick but DO tell someone and don’t try to rectify it on your own. More often than not it can be dealt with and easily remedied. 4. Do what you enjoy - find an interest. You have to work for a long time so ensuring that you enjoy your job and it remains challenging is worth its weight in gold! 5. Build networks and connections that will help you now and in the future. Sharing experiences good, bad and ugly with peers makes life easier and you learn a lot.

I knew that photo would come round again at some point! Really excited about taking over the role and only hope that I can achieve as much as you have with the amazing trainees that you have recruited and supported over the last four years.
