South Hampshire Junior Lawyers Division

SHJLD informative events to junior lawyers. We understand the importance of professional development we have webinars planned on recruitment and expanding legal knowledge for our members during March.

We recently held a webinar hosted by Chadwick Nott, discussing top tips for NQ applications. A few of these are summarised below:

■ Use your training diary to help draft your CV tailoring your CV towards the area of law you are looking to qualify into;

■ Make sure to include all relevant experience – it is a myth that a CV should be no more than 2 sides of A4;

■ If applying to another firm, consider location not only physically in terms of accessing the office but also how a role working from home would impact your decision;

■ Practice your virtual interviewing techniques. Be attuned to body language and how to answer questions on screen.

The SHJLD also hosted a virtual chocolate tasting session with Chococo in December, discovering more about the chocolate making process and the differences in flavours.

Act of Kindness Month During the month of March, the SHJLD are holding an “Act of Kindness” month. We are asking our members and our sponsors to support us in making or sharing small acts of kindness throughout the month. If you would like to get involved in helping us with this, please do let us know #MarchKindnessSHJLD
