Legal Recruiter offering free training to Law Students and Graduates

Jan. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Ten Percent Legal Careers Services are looking for 10 students or graduates to attend a Training Day worth £175
Ten Percent Legal Recruitment are filming a new legal careers training course to be sold via our online Legal Careers Shop and seek 10 volunteers to join us for a days worth of free training in Chester.

The training day will include a full CV review and rewrite, covering letter reviews and preparation, interview training and techniques (training contracts, pupillage, paralegal and vacation placement interview styles), job hunting techniques and strategies, application form completion, improving career prospects, career progression and alternative plans.
It will be held in Chester on February 17th from 10.30am to 4.30pm.

In the past we have charged £150 for this course but we would like to offer it free of charge to 10 people in return for your consent to be filmed for our new Online Training Series.
If you are interested in coming along on 17th February please send us an email to (cv@ten-percent.co.uk) with your CV and a quick paragraph to explain why you think you are suitable to attend, and we will let you know if you have been successful.

The course will be suitable for anyone who has undertaken or is about to undertake a degree, the LPC, the BVC or GDL. It is not suitable for qualified lawyers, overseas lawyers or solicitors. It will be with me, Jonathan Fagan, LLM, LLB, Solicitor (non-practising), Cert RP, MIRP, MAC. I am a qualified solicitor, recruitment consultant and career coach, I have been training at this level for about 10 years and regularly run workshops at University for LPC students on these subjects.

The aim of the course is to give you a head start into getting ahead in law and includes a full overview of careers in the legal profession and how to get a training contract, work experience, fee earning job, paralegal role or pupilage.
FAQs:

1. What's the catch? No catch. We are simply wanting to film our training course and need to run a workshop in order to do this.
2. Is there really no charge? Yes, no charge at all. You just have to get yourself to the venue wearing smart clothing - preferably a suit - and we will give you 6-7 hours of our time at no cost or future commitment. We will not sell anything to you either.
3. Where is Chester? In the North West - it takes about 2 hours to get from London Euston to Chester on the train.
4. What if I cannot attend and have to cancel? If you do not have a good reason we will charge you £50, as you will have prevented someone else from coming on the course.
5. When will the training course be available online? From April 2011 via our online shop.  
6. Can I telephone you to discuss this? No, absolutely not.  We do not have the resources to cope with the calls I am afraid. All contact via email please.
