Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
4/5
During my work experience, I worked with other students and we gained insight into the career of Law by interacting with Solicitors and Lawyers who work at Pinsent Masons. They helped us with how to create Cvs and personal statements and taught us what makes a good candidate for Universities. It lasted three days and each day was something different which kept me motivated.
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
5/5
I enjoyed the work experience all throughout the program. My favourite part was the activity of debating whether Jaffa Cake is a biscuit or cake. This activity really helped me learn more about my peers and the workers as I worked with them and we helped each other with the activity.
How well organised was your work experience?
4/5
The work experience was organised very well. They provided us with a website that contained all the resources we need for the program. It also provided us with a timetable which told us which event was occurring at what time. They also informed us if any event was cancelled and personally this was really well developed,
