THE 2ND EDITION OF ELSA INTERNATIONAL’S CAREER LAUNCH
SUSANNA MENDICINO Vice President in charge of Professional Development
The 2nd Edition of Career Launch was structured in two pillars: the Career Fair and Digital Workshops. The Career Fair took place on the Coderblock 3D Platform over two days, the 8th and 9th of March 2022; the first day was dedicated to the Legal Partners, and the second one was focused on the General Education Partners of ELSA. During those two days, participants had the chance to meet representatives of the different institutions, educational entities, companies and law firms and to ask them questions about careers in their organisations or academic opportunities. The Digital Workshops were organised in sessions aimed to provide our members with the necessary tools and skills to stand out in the job market. In particular, we covered the following topics: “How to apply for a job and enhance your CV and Motivation letter”, “How to stand out and be successful in job interviews”, “Social Media Presence”, “Careers in international institutions and diplomacy”, “International Educational Opportunities”, “How to become an International Lawyer”, “Careers in Immigration Law”, “Different legal professions available to Law students – Debts Recovery Lawyer”, “The future of the Legal Market”, “Careers in the European Union and where to start”, “Diversity and Inclusion” and “Job Opportunities in the United States”. The organisations involved in Career Launch are the Council of Europe, LexisNexis, Van Bael & Bellis, Bierens Incasso Advocaten, Fragomen, JS Information Governance, Deutsche Juristenakademie, Barbri, Católica Global School of Law of Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Central European University, College of Europe, University of Law, IE Law School and Georgetown University Law Center.
