Work Experience Student Review

We were given the opportunity to meet partners, associates and trainee solicitors-this entailed being given an in-depth explanation of the practice areas the solicitors specialised in-at the end I felt well informed and comfortable exploring several practice areas in law
Also we were equipped with knowledge about networking and what we need to do to be employable-given advice on how to improve our CV, interactive session on what skills employers look for and even networking bingo

It was exhilarating and definitely a learning process, I was quite surprised about the day in the life as a solicitor as it wasn't at all what I expected. I definitely recommend applying to insight programmes and general work experience at Gibson Dunn because it exceeded my expectation and it's just so diverse and caters to the needs of individuals i.e learning about how trainee solicitors are able to rotate seats and able to even go abroad for work on their practice areas

I definitely felt more informed about what skills I need to develop in order to make myself stand out to make myself more likeable generally. I developed better communication skills, I was especially conscious of non-verbal communication such as body language and movements as they have a huge impact on first impressions and employability.

Everyone was down to earth and friendly, no one was hostile and the atmosphere was so comfortable since everyone was willing to talk and socialise with us work experience students

I whole heartedly enjoyed the insight ,I loved how accommodating the Senior Recruiting Coordinator and everyone else was ,it added to my experience. I'm so indebted to Gibson Dunn for choosing me to take on this opportunity ,I not only felt valued but also gained life long skills and knowledge
