… may not be rocket science but getting the right one takes a mixture of skill and luck.  Let’s tackle skill first.  It seems obvious that you need to have the right qualifications and experience that the potential employer is looking for but communicating this to the employer does require some skill.  For example, not only will you will need to prepare a CV, a synopsis of legal experience but at interview, you have to impress the interviewers that you are a good fit (both professionally and personally), for the position they are looking to fill.  Next, luck plays a larger part in getting the right job than we would hope or care to admit – my parents would always say that you have to be at the right place at the right time.  But is that really luck?  Being at the right place at the right time requires patience and the ability to move quickly when the right opportunity arises.  In the next few blogs, I will outline what we at Marsden believe, are steps you can take to find the right job.
